Gold Seal Online Ground Schools Reviews 633

As a CFI, I always recommend Gold Seal. The Learning Management System is such a huge benefit to the student and myself. We can track easily progress and go over lessons together, or remotely. I have found that when a student comes to me for training and already has completed the Gold Seal ground school, their training timeline is so much faster, and they have more knowledge than most. Great stuff @Gold Seal!

This ground school is clear ,concise and very understandable. Excellent and functional interactive learning . Using this tool has been the best ground school choice of all the resources I have used .

GoldSeal takes the required FAR/AIM knowledge and makes it easily digestible. On top of that the material is always kept up to date, with an extremely friendly and engaging staff. I've had the pleasure of talking with Russell Still himself! 10/10 fully recommend Gold Seal

Comprehensive and thorough, this course streamlines everything you need to know to get you PPL, and breaks it down in easy to digest pieces. A+++

Gold Seal is fantastic. Of all of the ground training I've received, the instrument pilot was top notch and got me through my test just fine. It's hard to consume all of the material but I feel like it was really well presented. It was very easy to go back and re-study. An excellent experience for sure!

I started using Gold Seal ground school earlier this year, as I began flight training. It has been extremely effective in teaching me what I need to know, and my CFI constantly tells me how much he appreciates the knowledge I have already learned, so we can focus on flying the airplane. Russell at Gold Seal has been fantastic, I had one small issue with sound on one of the lessons and he fixed it just hours later! I have nothing but good things to say about Gold Seal!

Gold Seal helped me pass my IRA written exam with a 95%. I gained a comprehensive knowledge of the material, and when I went in front of the examiner yesterday to do my instrument checkride, I passed my oral with flying colors. Thanks, Gold Seal!

Well organized and attractively produced web-based program. A mix of animation, interactive video, text slides, and supplemental reading from the FAA publications (PHAK and AFH). Quizzes after each topic and at the end reinforce details. The instructors have a friendly, confidence-inspiring attitude both in the videos and in answering questions by email and the Facebook. They are very responsive and knowledgeable. My practice test scores accurately predicted my final FAA test score (over 90%). I wish they had non-interactive audio or audio/video lessons available to make it possible to learn while commuting, exercising or doing chores, when interacting with a web browser to click to the next screen or answer questions isn't practical. Some topics are only covered in the supplemental reading assignments.

Love the way the content is laid out. Tests are great and it was a bonus my CFI could monitor my progress. I also purchased the Instrument program.

Stop right here and do not look for another ground school! Gold Seal is the key to a passing score! Russell does a great job in explaining the subject. Money well spent; next course is already loading.

Comments from a person who scored a 90 on the ground school test.

As for the education piece, the content is up to date and state of the art! The quizzes and tests keep you engaged plus the animation is awesome and keeps your visual attention there! It’s not someone standing in front of a screen talking. It has visual and real life scenarios that add that 3rd dimension to the training.

As for the Gold Seal team - Russell is fully engaged in supporting the flight learning community! He is very engaged in his social media and is willing to help wherever he can!

Helped me pass my Instrument rating! 10/10. The videos are interactive. Fun. And to the point! Highly recommend.

Awesome ground school the way they break things down in depth to make it easier to understand is fantastic. Great customer service as well.

I cannot say enough good things about Gold Seal’s online ground school. With other ground schools, I am sure I would have just been a number. With Gold Seal, I felt like I had a support system throughout the process. Russ reached out to me personally a number of times to answer my question and to inquire about my progress. Being an older PPL Student with a very busy career and no prior aviation experience, I needed things succinct and put in layman‘s terms. Gold seal did that for me which provided the knowledge I needed while not wasting my time. I recommend and have recommended Gold Seal’s online ground school to anyone looking to start or continue their aviation journey. You can’t go wrong with Gold Seal!

Whenever someone asks in a forum or anywhere on social media which ground school I recommend, gold seal is the immediate answer. The program itself is extremely well thought out and professionally presented. But for me, the most important thing is how responsive they are when you have questions. My only requirement of any instructor live or online, is the ability to have a conversation and ask deeper questions. So far, they have helped both myself and my son with private pilot ground as well as instrument. Cannot recommend them enough.

The combination of short videos (with excellent visual graphics) and the digital study materials really made the information easy to internalize. The short quizzes at the end of each lesson, the end of section checks, the practice test, and final exams were huge in preparing me for a successful test result on my first try.

Gold Seal is a top-notch ground school! They have a 100% guarantee that you will pass your written test. And I just passed my written test with a 90%.

All I used to study was the Gold Seal training program. Russell and his Facebook group of other students is a fantastic resource! Anytime I had a question about course material that just sounded odd, the group immediately jumped right in and helped me understand my error in thinking.

If you're shopping around for online ground school for fixed-wing private pilot, I HIGHLY recommend Gold Seal, over any other program. The visuals in the video course were fantastic.

I think the best part of Gold Seal was the Flash Cards.

I enjoyed the quizzes with each section. However, the flash cards were considerably helpful.

The week before I took the written exam, I went through every single flash card.

Thanks again Russell for the spectacular training program you created. Cheers!

When Gold Seal says you can contact them for answers to questions, they mean it. Even on weekends. The course not only covers material for the knowledge test but flight skills also. Many subjects are explained in various ways to help your understanding. Practice tips, practice tests really had me prepared for the knowledge test.

Gold Seal's ground school was amazing with its visual depictions and easy to understand textual knowledge. Would recommend to a friend!
