By Jenna P.
Currently enrolled, about 70% done and so far so great! I’m usually not a fan of online courses but this one is actually good. Each lesson builds on the previous one, so this makes learning easy, simple and clear to follow. Also each lesson contains a quiz at the very end to make sure you’re actually understanding the material and not just going through the motions. Can’t wait to reach the practice exams!

My experience with Part Time Pilot has been positive. I was hopeful that I could find an online system that would provide proper training for ground school. Part Time Pilot met my needs providing me with an initial assessment and helped me target the information I need to learn to pass the written and checkride. I've been impressed with the information and Nick's willingness to help get me through the finish line.

These course have been very helpful for the beginning of my journeys to getting my private pilots license. It's very helpful that it breaks everything up into small chunks to study and has a quiz after every lesson. No need to have to go through the hassle of jumping to 1000 places online to find answerer's. They have all the information you need to get your private pilot's at the cheapest rate. Best part about all of this is its also a lifetime membership. Great job on creating this platform Nick Smith!

The course is very thorough, the lessons flow well and build on themselves appropriately. Quizzes after every section really help to make sure you're ready to progress. Between Nick the instructors level of availability and interaction, coupled with the life time access, price and guarantee. Why anyone would choose another online ground school is beyond me. I looked at a bunch, Part Time Pilot resources will be a life long aviation tool. We'll worth the money

Nick is a great guy who supports his students. What amazed me about part time pilot is that Nick actually took the time to look over my answers, and ask if I needed any help with anything. He also gave me some extra practice tests at my request to help me continue to study hard for the exam. Overall, great program, and super fun and easy to complete!

I’ve been studying with part time pilot for a few weeks and I love the effort and wealth of knowledge parttimepilot has shown me thus far.

Part Time Pilot has been an excellent resource for me, someone just getting started in aviation. The training is approachable, explained well in multiple ways, presented in bite-sized portions, and comes from someone close to my age who has been through it and knows how challenging it can be to do it right and also pay for it on a tight budget. When I heard I would have lifetime access to materials that have been proven excellent (100% written exam pass rate for students that have taken the course so far!), with a CFI endorsement upon completion, the value definitely outweighs the price!
