King Schools Giving Away $3000 Ground School Prep Courses

Comprehensive Programs Benefit Students & CFIs Alike

King Schools’ new Flight Instructor Program is designed to allow instructors to track their students’ progress through King Schools’ courses. The program provides flight instructors with a dashboard by which they and their students are linked—after a fashion. Instructors can invite students to link up, or students can invite their instructors. In either case, CFIs gain access to such progress as their students may or may not be making as they proceed through their King Schools courses.
