Product reviews for Complete Flight Instructor Course

The video was produced in 1994 and it's now 2020 as I write this. The checkride oral exam seemed light on the fundamentals of instruction.  There were times when the scene would cut away to a "later-version" of John (several years later, but in the same shirt in front of a blue screen depicting the hangar space used for the oral exam) expounding upon an answer given to the DPE.  John seemed to revert into teaching mode instead of CFI applicant mode which made for a VERY distracting segment as if the viewer wouldn't notice the change.  I didn't appreciate the production trying to "fix" a shortfall in the original video and gives weight to the need of updating the entire experience.  The flight portions seemed to flow well, but it would have been nice to see a few more maneuvers than the basic minimum.  If you've watched the commercial check ride with Martha, this will be a step down in production quality, completeness and recency.

I've used the King Schools study courses from PPL through Commercial so far, and they really help.  John, Martha and the other instructors will explain the sometimes otherwise mundane concepts (such as everyone's favorite...the FARs)  in an entertaining, witty and informative way.  I'd recommend King Schools to anyone who is venturing out on their aviation journey.

Easy to maneuver and flow through courses is smooth

Good!

The course breaks it down into the key components, and is explicit in its description of those key components that should be included in the discussion of all of the requisite topics.

good video and explanations. Would like to see review guides to use when watching video
