I need to do my FIRC and I prefer on-line. I've always used Gleim, but they don't offer a paperless renewal yet. I'm leaning towards King, but I got a card in the mail from Ace. Anyone use them? It's a one time fee of $79 and you can renew for life.
 
I used Kind today. Did it in less than 4 hours. I've used Jepp/AOPA before and will use King from now on. Click next as fast as you can. The quiz questions are idiot proof. Done and done.
Having done business with American Flyers before I'll never use or recommend them. Why is not important. Lets just say that I think they are the lowest scum in flight training-which is pretty full of scum.
 
I just renewed my Certificate with Ace CFI last weekend. Overall I was quite happy with it, although it is the only FIRC I've even gone through as this was the first time I've had to renew my CFI certificate. It is $79 for life, although if you want to take advantage of the ACR services to process your renewal entirely online it's an extra $25 per renewal. I was satisfied with Ace CFI and would recommend it.

I've never done a FIRC-based renewal, but I've heard horror stories about certain online ones that enforce a certain time duration on each question page before allowing you to continue. I guess the idea is to ensure that you actually spend some required amount of time with the material. Not sure if this still applies, or in fact if it ever did, but use some caution in selection.

I have heard that as well, and I can't remember which one it was that requires that. AceCFI is the only online FIRC I've used, and there weren't any minimum times you had to spend on any material.
 
I used AceCFI. I thougt it was pretty wuick and painless. I think I did the training in two evenings. Once I was done emailing documents for them to generate the temporary certificate, they had it back to me within a day or two. Easy.
 
I'm considering them. It's a pretty stupid long shot, but does anyone know of any FIRC that would be useful in rehashing instrument stuff, or stuff that might otherwise help me in a 121 interview? >.>

I ended up going with King on your recommendation and It was a breeze. Just like you said, the quiz questions are idiot proof and I did this FIRC quicker than any other one I've done. I think I spent a total of 4 hours over 3 days to get it done. And the paperless processing is awesome.

I used to use Gleim, but now I'll stick with King.
