Syllabus for King Schools "Get It All" Kit?

[Scared to Fly]

I just started instructing at this flight school that had all their students buy the King Schools "Get It All" kit. As a former King student myself I thought this would be an easy transition, but what I'm finding out is that the non CPC King Kits are highly unorganized. They just ship a box full of cd's with little to no guidance as to what order watch them in.
Does anyone know of a syllabus for the King non CPC Private Pilot kit? I called King and according to them there's no syllabus.

Any help would be highly appreciated

I dont like the "Get it all Kit" from King. There is so much information that the student gets overwhelmed or bored very quickly. I just use the Private pilot written DVD's from Kings. That gets them through the Written. I teach them the rest. Its only 280 bucks vs 500 something.

That's who I used for the private and use for the instrument....The less I have to listen to John and Martha, the longer I will live.

Although more entertaining with lots of cool video clips and such, Sportys is not as affective IMO as I stated before. I can almost guess what a students grade is going to be based on which DVD set they used.

Sporty's 80% + or - 5
King Schools 90% + or - 5

Does anyone still do classroom style ground school at FBO's anymore? The fact that a CFI is doing the instruction, and answering questions, seemed much easier to me. And it was cheaper than the DVDs (I think I paid about $100 - it was a while ago). But with 20 students, this was very profitable for the CFIs.

The problem is getting a class of 20 together twice a week for 6 weeks.

I've done it, and will happily do so again, but the customers like the videos better.

Passing a written test is one thing. All I know is that my private & instrument students had far less gaps in their practical knowledge using Sportys than King. Honestly, I couldn't give a crap what my student gets on a written. I just want them to be confident and pass. Test scores are for chumps. Make good decisions & fly well, I'll be impressed.

Yeah, there's that. There's also nothing that'll kill a student's enthusiasm like sitting in a class 3 hours at a time, two nights a week, for 6 weeks.

I disagree. I scored a 95 on my private written using Sporty's, I think it is up to the student.
