It's OK, But Not The Best
- By Tony from Irmo SC USA on Tuesday, April 26, 2011
- Pros: Does the job.
- Review: Let me start by saying that the course isn't bad. It teaches the test and that is what it is designed to do. There are no "how to" videos or anything. There is a quick video overview of the unit that you are working on, and study guides that you read and then take practice tests. So, if you can read something and remember it then this is a good way to study for the written test. A couple of things I didn't like is once you have taken a test on a subject, you can't go back and take another test on the same subject. You have to wait until you get to the end of the unit and take a unit test. You can review the test you took, but not take a different test on the same subject. A few videos here and there would be nice. I have an older King course and that is probably the best route to take if you like video instruction. I did purchase ASA Prepware, and it's pretty much the same as Gleim, but you can take a test on any subject at any time and you can take timed practice exams just like a FAA test anytime you want.I found the reading portion to be more informative and easier to follow, and it's cheaper and you can download it to your computer, so you don't have to have an internet connection to study. Bottom line, if you want video instruction, go with King. If you want to cram for the test and don't care about the videos, go with Gleim or ASA.

Review:
Gleim ground school includes detailed outlines that eventually filled a 3-4" thick binder when I printed them out. They are offered in HTML and PDF format. This alone was worth the price of the course to me. The info is well organized and focused on the FAA test. The course is broken up into sections. You can leave and return at any time even in the middle of unit tests. Gleim's web servers were always up and responsive whenever I logged in - no problems with downtime. Gleim responded to my occasional questions promptly and accurately.
It doesn't have the fancy videos and glossy photos and artwork that some courses have. I found this a welcome relief - the last thing I want is Barbie & Ken teaching me how to fly.
At the end of the school it provides a certificate that enables you to take the FAA test.

Q: What is the difference between the Online Ground School and the Gleim private pilot test kit (w/ the software, books, etc.)? Does the online ground school provide all the necessary materials (besides the E6-B flight computer)?
A: The online ground school is an interactive ground school that you do on the internet using your web browser. With the online course, there is nothing physically shipped to you. You just get an activation code via email to use the online course. The Gleim Private Pilot Kit with Software includes physical books, software, E6B, plotter, and logbook that are shipped to you.
