I have had a great experience with parttimepilot. I agree that their product is thorough and I appreciate the multiple ways there are to learn. When I have time I used the lectures on computer and YouTube. I travel a lot and have the option to download and use podcasts was very useful to my schedule. If I go further with my training to try for IFR I will definitely use this website.
I really enjoy Part Time Pilot as I learn best when I can consume material in more ways than just reading. Part Time Pilot has video, podcast, and text that go over each of the concepts and by the time I review all that information, the quizzes feel manageable. I like that the quiz aspect goes in depth and provides multiple questions about the same content to ensure that I understand the concept completely. The syllabus is structured in a way that feels very digestible and well-paced. Whenever I read straight from the PHAK or APH, I can get a basic concept, but it's hard to identify the most important information. Part Time Pilot emphasizes all the important concepts and the way that Nick explains concepts just makes sense to me.
Thank you so much for the review!
I really appreciate the online format, the convenience of the app, and the variety of ways to access the content. Plus, the price and the lifetime access.
Thank you so much for the review!
Very pleased with choosing Part Time Pilot as my online ground school. The course is very informative and the quizzes are very helpful in making sure the information taught was well understood.
Thank you so much for the review!
Part Time Pilot has been an incredible help to my learning. As a middle aged adult having different ways to listen, watch, or read helps my learning process. The material is presented in a well thought out manner and is easy to follow. I would highly encourage the use of Part Time Pilot to all student pilots.
Thank you so much for the review!
Part Time Pilot's ground school training, combined with their podcasts and live Q&A webinars are the perfect tools for a student pilot working on their ground school training.
Thank you so much for the review!
Part Time Pilot gives you all the tools you need to succeed in whatever form works best for you as a pilot. If you are more of a visual learner, group, self paced, or even a combo they make it easy for you to understand and succeed. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the review!
I can’t say enough great things about Part time Pilot they are the best not only their ground school but their Facebook community and Nick with always reaching out and answering your questions. This group is amazing I can post any question and I will receive a ton of reply’s and answers to my questions. The ground school goes over every little detail and it has made my flight training cheaper and easier to understand. I highly recommend PTP to anyone and I have before. This group is the best and I plan to continue to use their IFR ground very soon.
Thank you so much for the review!
I recently had the opportunity to sign up for a part-time pilot school ✈️, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience that exceeded all my expectations 🌟. The program is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing students to balance their studies with work and personal commitments 🗓️, making it an ideal choice for those looking to pursue their passion for aviation without sacrificing their current responsibilities. From the very first day, the instructor Nick demonstrated a profound depth of knowledge 📚 and a genuine passion for teaching ❤️. His hands-on approach and ability to explain complex concepts in an easily digestible manner made learning not only effective but also enjoyable 😊. The amazing costumer service and the fast response in his social media fostered a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and engaging in discussions 🤝. Thank you so much

HAVING A PASSION I have followed your development of Part Time Pilot since your beginning. When you started posting I was able to listen to your videos and then listen to episodes on Spotify. I had already been working with Sportys, which I thought their training videos were good to follow while I was currently flying with my instructor. What I was missing and wanting was more of the break down of instruction of such a ground school. I decided to purchase your ground school after a delay of my flight training because of taking a coaching job in a neighboring town an hour away. Now that is over an flight training can continue. I needed a ground school. I really enjoy listening to the lessons, then I can watch the video take the quizzes. Next I mark it off my sheet. I like the ability to go back and review the notes and videos. Also having an explanation of answers in the quizzes. If I had a request, it would be to be able to copy and paste notes, have explanation on all questions not just the questions missed and to bank all of the quiz questions for review in subject order after completing each topic. Overall I have really enjoyed your ground school which with my busy life and wanting this for 30 years now has kept me excited and more confident with my knowledge. So THANK YOU and keep of the GREAT work and HAVING A PASSION! Darin Dunnagan
Darin! Thanks so much for the review and your feedback. Just a couple notes on the feedback: - We used to allow for copying and pasting but have had people create their own books and products to sell with our content. So we stopped. We do however, have the digital notes feature on every lesson so that you can add notes throughout the course and then save and print it as a pdf. - I agree that we want to have explanations on the questions you get right as well. We use a Learning Management System for our courses and quizzes and they currently dont have that capability for some reason but we are working to get them to change that. We DO however, have an explanation on every question on our flash cards. So you can do as many flash card sessions as possible to get as many practice test scenarios as you want with our over 1500 practice questions and each one has an answer explanation. Thanks again!
While there are many programs to go through a PPL ground school, Part Time Pilot's is worth every penny. After using another recommend course I still didn't feel I was understanding all of the enormous amounts of information. This programs breaks it down into easy to follow sections. What has helped me the most is being able to listen to each section's pod cast, while driving and sometimes working. Then being able to read through and watch videos when I get home has helped to instill what I learned. Highly recommend
Thank you so much for the review!
I love the breakdown of lessons and the variety of ways I can consume the content - podcast, video, reading - bonus material galore! I'm a busy mom looking at a career change and I don't think I could find a better program out there.
Thank you so much for the review!
The ground school lessons are easily accessible and the practice tests are helpful as well. There’s a plethora of information provided as well as a welcoming community
Thank you so much for the review!
hands down the best ground school! The material is easy to understand and has audio, video, and reading. it has everything you need to pass the FAA written! Thank you to part time pilot for giving me the knowledge to accomplish my goals of being a pilot!
Thank you so much for the review!
As a beginner student, I've spent countless hours researching the best online PPL ground school. I finally enrolled in one and had a difficult time retaining the lessons and the program was confusing and hard to follow. I just felt I wasn't getting any closer to achieving my goals so I've opt out. I've continued the search and came across Part time pilot. I've debated if I should spend again on another online ground school. But it was money well spent. I wished Part time pilot was around when I was first starting out. Nick has created an outstanding online community. With all the information that is out there it can get overwhelming. With part time pilot everything is already in an organized format for you to learn. You just have to do your part and do the work and you will succeed. So if you were like me debating whether it is worth it or not; go for it and sign up with Part time pilot. Make the investment on yourself, you won't regret it. Thank you to Nick and the Part time pilot team! Keep doing what you guys do. Without you guys I wouldn't be a step closer to achieving my goals.
Thank you so much for the review!
Very much enjoying the combination of the app, web based and YouTube.
Thank you so much for the review!
Loved all of the ways available you can learn the content! Audio, video, written, live sessions, app content! These were the most important things to me as I am not a mono-mode learner. Having the ability to use all the different learning modes was great. Loved the progress checks and practice tests as well, very comparable to what you’ll see on the FAA written.
Thank you so much for the review!
I love how Part Time Pilot is very affordable and allows me to work at my own pace with a busy family schedule and full time job. I also really appreciate all of the extra learning styles included with the courses that help with all the different ways people learn.
Thank you so much for the review!
Part time pilot has been more than I could have asked for. There are many options out there, but I am very happy to have enrolled with Part Time Pilot. I love the programs, teaching style, and ease of use online and the amazing responsiveness/effort put in by Nick and the PTP team. I look forward to continuing my training and using part time pilot as my go to resource!
Thank you so much for the review!
I thought this ground school is great. I was able to get a 90% on my written test with there help. they offer loads of videos and an audio log for each lesson.
Thank you so much for the review!
