I love the way the material is presented. The visual highlight with text block selections is great. I love the quizzes and the potential length. The improvement I’d suggest is that when I get an answer wrong twice and the program gives me the answer ‘how’ it arrived at that answer would be most welcomed. Often while I might know the right answer, I’m unsure why that is the right answer.
Instrument Course Review
John C 1014
It’s been a couple of months since I took the instrument written knowledge exam. I purchased this course to help me prepare for the checkride. It’s thorough and logically presented. Aleks is a great instructor. He’s very easy to understand and he doesn’t bore me to sleep like some of the competitors’ courses do. Great job and thank you to the folks at Boldmethod!
The Best Aviation courses
Random25445
Bold Method’s courses are second to none. Very well prepared, detailed, interactive, thorough, yet simple and not overwhelming. Everything is divided into sub sections with unlimited practice quizzes that include explanations and hints. Final tests gauge how well you leaned. You can go back to any section and review the course and retake practice quizzes. The course presentation is modern, streamlined, and very interactive with visual aids and in some cases interactive diagrams and information. The courses are well worth the money. Even if you don’t buy the courses there are tons of free videos on the app! If you check their website and social media they constantly post free learning material.

Thanks, we appreciate it!
Cumbersome!
doggster
There’s no doubt very good content in the course segments in this app. But it wasn’t particularly what I was looking for as a help in making better landings. And, I found the app layout to be maddeningly cumbersome and confusing with regards to progressing through the course. It would back up to a segment that had previously completed and I had a hard and frustrating time moving to the segment. Or, I couldn’t complete a segment and move to the next lesson. It would take me back to previous lessons after I hit the finish button. It was frustrating! I’ve been using Apple products for nearly 50 years so I’m not a complete amateur with programs and apps.
