I'm interested in finishing out my training by doing my CFI's with ATP. The program sounds great, but how are you supposed to get the sign-offs to take the written tests for your CFI's? Am I supposed to do some training at an FBO before I go there? Also, the training is so fast, can I be a good instructor by going through so quickly? Any help would be appreciated
Taking the CFI/CFII/MEI program
- Thread starter theman
- Start date
When you sign up for the course we'll help you with the endorsements for taking the writtens.
As far as being a good instructor..
Both yes and no. A person who is a good pilot and would have been a good instructor anyway will be a good instructor going through this course. Someone who's not such a good pilot and would never quite become a super instructor won't become a super instructor through this program.
Perhaps this sounds a bit wishy washy, but I belive the course is good enough to realize someone's potential, if they have a good foundation. It's not long enough to transfer a mediocre pilot to a good instructor though.
Cheers,
Helge
