Exceeds Expectations
This is an incredible course. The instructions are thorough, the assignments are interesting, and the instructors always answer any questions promptly. I have learned a lot about aviation through this course.
Best course ever!
This is by far the most fun i have ever had with any course, I have learned so much and had a blast while doing so. I would definitely encourage anyone who wants to fly, or be involved with aviation to take this class! A special thanks to Grant & Barney Funk for working so hard to put this together!
I love the program, a lot of time was put into it and it is well planed and well taught.
Thanks for all you’ve done.
Luke Alder
My son completed this curriculum, and it is amazing! Well worth the cost! He loved it! He learned so many valuable aviation skills, as well as learning about many aviation careers. And if you’re interested in Alaska, the course utilizes many flights within Alaska, which will also teach your student a lot about Alaskan geography. The course is DEFINITELY enough hours for 1 full high school credit, if not more. Our State-funded home school program granted a full high school credit for this course.
Great Course
This is a great course and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in aviation. 5 stars from me.
Great learning experience
I have enjoyed learning about aviation even though I don’t have plans to go into this field of work. It has been very informative and enjoyable to work through the lessons. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge through your program.
Simply aeroDYNAMIC!
This course was amazing! I have always wanted to know the basics of flying and this course exceeded my expectations! Grant and Barney have been amazing instructors and generous ones too, particularly during the countless times I got myself locked out! I look forward to the next course!
-Daybroken
A wonderful experience
I learned more than I could have imagined from this course. I had never really considered a career in aviation until I heard of this course, now, I hope to pursue it more in the future.
Great course!
Great course. Enjoyed it a lot!
Challenging, yet fun!
Our daughter (16 – and special needs) really enjoyed this class. She has grown a lot from it – especially the last few units. Something clicked, and she realized she did know how to do the math! Even on a bad day, she enjoyed going ‘up’ in the flight simulator.
Elliot
Great Class! Thanks!
Introduction to Aviation- This was such a great course!
I learned so much about aviation and about my interests in general. This course opened up different career opportunities for me that I would not have had otherwise.
