I got a 92% on my test. I liked the course, but thought some sections were just skimmed over. Some information appeared outdated. As a visual learner, I was disappointed there weren't more video lectures. My test results speak to the effectiveness of the class.

Have you ever tried to drink from a gushing faucet in the dark after stumbling into the kitchen while shaking the sleep from your eyes? That is what the FAA "free" information is like. There is no thought process or simplification to what the FAA publishes, It is written by people who have been in the industry forever with no thought to those that are just starting into aviation. These guys turn the lights on, hand you a drinking glass, and turn the pressure down about a hundred fold to easily manageable streams of information. Pause the videos, back up, replay the same section 10 times, try the practice quiz before going through the information whatever you want to do. They have taken the guesswork out of the equation. Would recommend wholeheartedly.

Excellent course that doesn't just cover and illustrate key knowledge exam areas but also addresses related topics that further explain important aviation concepts. Passed my Part 107 knowledge exam with flying colors.

Hi, Chris. There is a good reason you saw questions on the test that you hadn't seen - you skipped half of the lesson quizzes. I looked up your status and in addition to skipping much of the course, you took a Practice Final one time and scored a 66% on it. We are sorry that you were unprepared, but the material was ALL there in the course. You just skipped it.
Great training. Easy to follow lessons and challenging enough where you definitely have to pay attention!
By Jeffrey L.
I passed!! Thank you very much. The course was very easy to follow, information was precise and detailed.

EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE EVEN IF THEY HAVE RESEARCHED FREE MATERIAL ONLINE. The confidence displayed by these instructor is unparalleled. Most of these online drone instructors sound monotone and could easily overwhelm you. Gold Seal really know their stuff and prove it! I don’t have the Gold Seal of approval (Certificate) but I passed the exam on my first try with an 88 percent!
