This course was in depth and covered nearly everything that was on my test. I say nearly because there were three questions on my exam that I did not remember this class discussing, but my test did use the 2023 book, so maybe they were old concepts that Pilot Institute had already updated.

The information is given in a super clear way and for each chapter there is a test to understand if you really comprehended the topics.
It's really helpful and the way Greg explains could be understood by everybody. In case of further doubts the forum is also super helpful!
10/10 so far!

Thank You for the feedback Leonardo!
The instruction videos are good. The instructor (Greg) is well-spoken and easy to understand. The practice quizzes and exams are great at testing your knowledge and let you know what sections/videos you need to repeat. The flash-card app they give you is nice too.

Some of the powerpoint slide presentations are too quick and do not afford the learner enough time to read and listen along with the instructor.

The NIST course is an excellent concept for fine drone control, testing, and to measure proficiency. As always PI has povided extensive details, thoughts, and alternatives to the basic concepts. Thanks!

You are very welcome and Thank You Mike.
I'm about 40% of the way through the course. The progression thus far has been logical. Topics are explained well. The one exception I ran into was in the Weight and Balance section. The quiz included questions for topics that immediately followed the quiz. Overall I'm am learning a lot and I am happy with my purchase.

The course is very detailed and informative. The reference to the study materials is great. My schedule is very busy, so it's very convenient for me to study this course at my own pace.

It's impossible to take just one class with PI because each and every class related to drones or fixed wings is done in a top notch professional manner. One thing I will scream to the clouds there is NO BETTER organization for your flying education. Always up to date and professional.

I am about 52% of the way through and am very happy with the $225 I spent. I do not have to do much reading, which is great for me, and I can absorb all the information I need through the short training videos. If you're looking to be a pilot, I personally think this is the most modern and comprehensive course that really breaks down a huge task into small bites. Highly recommend it over other courses. I've tried a few.

Good ui and the overall material is pretty easy to understand. An emphasis on what isn't relative for test but just for your knowledge would be a little helpful for studying and focusing on the right material.

Ended up having to cram this course in much quicker than I would like (6 days) but it definitely helped prepare and educate me. I love having access to everything in the future for refreshers. I'm an interactive learner and the structure and content are very helpful. Thanks Greg!

Fortunately I was afforded the time to study at least 90 minutes a day. I believe that made a difference for me.
I should have spent more time reviewing the subjects that I was weak in, but I passed with a respectable score.

i'm just starting to get into Aerial Mapping for Surveyors and so far the course is very straight forward. Easy to understand as the Instructor takes time to explain things and not rushing threw the material. Very well done !!

It made me me further aware of regs and policies affecting night ops and allowed me to brush up on and be made aware of information I had forgotten.

I have really enjoyed this course. Greg does an excellent job of presenting and solidifying new information so that it is easily retained, not just regurgitated for the quiz

detailed, precise, starts from a basic level and doesn't skip elementary details that are important to a total newby.
Amazing amount of info for a _free_ course. Thanks.

The videos are comprehensive and extensive and the quizzes are a great tool to practice and apply knowledge. I wish the quizzes were more frequent because I feel like there is too much information given in between full comprehension of the previous material.

Course is very well put together. Greg is extremely smart, but has the ability to "dumb down" pilot information so that it is easily understood by all users. The practice exams are very similar to the testing center. If you follow the program, you will pass.
