Just passed my CFI Initial Checkride on my first attempt! The Checkride Examiner was very impressed with your CFI Lesson Plans and said he will be recommending them to other students applying for their CFI Certificate. Thank you for the time and effort you have put in to creating these. I can finally breathe again and can't wait to get in the air with my first student!

This is the future of flight training! Online, easy-to-navigate courses, that you can study from the comfort of your own home and at your own pace. The flight training industry was in dire need of an update and wifiCFI filled that need with professionalism, accurate and easy to understand content, and incredible customer service. I'm excited to start my Instrument Training utilizing their courses.

As a CFI, I have always had difficulties with Endorsements and making sure my students are properly prepared to take and pass their Checkrides. That was, until I found wifiCFI and your Endorsement Scenarios! Now, all I have to do, is click the Checkride I want Endorsements for and hit print. This has been a lifesaver.
