I enjoyed the mixed multi-media approach with animation, diagrams, videos, lecture, and charts. It keeps you focused and makes it interesting. Extremely thorough and moves quick.

Explained Concepts Well
By A. G. S.
Gold seal is excellent in providing the knowledge not only to pass the written test but also to help you succeed in your flight training. The way they explain the material makes it way easier to learn then just reading it from a book or other software that just has you memorizing answers for hours on end.
By Britton S.
Training informative and well presented. Very good visuals.

Gold Seal’s PPL ground school was instrumental for me in my journey to become a private pilot. The interactive format of the lessons provides a way to truly understand the concepts as opposed to memorizing information. I really appreciate that Russell Still is active and engaged with student pilots through social media as well. His passion for passing on his vast knowledge to students is inspiring.

I was recommended by my flight school. I like the no pressure study on line approach . I recommend the unlimited private pilot course as I did not feel rushed.
By Elidio E.
Used Gold Seal for my private pilot exam and ended up with a 93%! Did the free trial first, then took the full course. Very easy to use with relevant info! Can't wait to start my instrument pilot ground school with Gold Seal!
