Such a great ground school, well worth every penny.
Such a great ground school, easy to navigate. Explains all topics very well and in an easy way to comprehend. I would recommend to anyone else just starting out. It has helped me tremendously to learn the foundations I did not know of flying.

I’m a visual learner and I like the way Gold Seal presents the material
I’m a visual learner and I like learning in small chunks and building the knowledge base from there. Gold Seal was just the right ground school for me. I studied a few years ago for my private. And this year, for my Instrument rating. I also went ahead and took the Instrument Ground instructor too since it has the sane content (plus a few helicopter questions). I scored a 97% on the IRA test and a 98% on the IGI. Of course I read the reference material as well. But Gold Seal really helped me neatly ace this test. I would highly recommend their training program.

Those are fantastic scores! Your DPE will be pleased. Thanks for choosing Gold Seal!
Gold seal was great. I tried a different one for my private and I definitely liked this much more. I wish I would’ve done gold seal for my private training.

Great Ground school
Animations were great and engaging. The quizzes at the end of each section really drove home the important information. Solid ground school!
I liked that at the end of the topic a complete screen shot showed a breakdown of the steps to perform. Got to know things I didn't know previously like that transponders were in octas. Quizzes were good. Weather charts were good. I will recommend to other people. I felt it was worth the money.

Just Follow the Steps for Great Result
The Sport Pilot content was presented in an organized and compelling manner. Followed the steps in the course, reviewed flashcards, and had a great result. All the site features worked well and support questions were answered quickly. The "Prepare to Pass" video contains some great tips. It was helpful to watch just prior to taking the exam.

Very solid and informative ground school
Very solid and informative ground school ... did my instrument ground here. Especially liked the practice exams, which were more focused and well-built than most. Some minor quibbles about a bit of overlooked material, but that's true with pretty much all ground-school programs.
