CFI Prep Course (11/1 - 15:00 PT)

We're confident that anyone preparing for an instructor checkride, or looking to build and refine their instructing abilities, can benefit from this course!

More specifically, we received many emails from CFIs struggling with a lack of structure and inadequate instruction, making the CFI preparation process more stressful & challenging. That's specifically why this course was designed - to provide the structured guidance, expert instruction, and mentorship you need from a seasoned CFI so you can feel confident and prepared for your checkride.

We're targeting the Part 61 students that don't have the structure and/or support needed to confidently navigate their CFI rating, but are 100% open to helping anyone who needs it!

You'll need the Backseat Pilot lessons and slides for the checkride you're preparing for. Simply review and edit the lessons and slides each week to align with the topics covered, ensuring you're ready to engage, practice, and refine your instructing skills!

No, this course is designed to supplement your formal training, not replace it. While we focus on refining your knowledge, teaching skills, and confidence, official checkride endorsements must come from your primary instructor.

In the future, we may expand to offer formal CFI ground training and endorsements, but for now, we're here to help you fine-tune your skills and get checkride-ready with expert mentorship and support.

If you’re looking for additional guidance during or after the course, you have options! You can join another class for continued practice or reach out to Chris for personalized help. Our sole goal is your success and we’re happy to work with you to ensure you get the support you need to succeed.
