THE COURSE AT A GLANCE
What it helps you work on.
Gleim's listed package combines its FIRC with paperless processing. The provider describes required study units, elective topics and assessments covering instruction, safety and regulatory changes. Its official page identifies the course as FAA approved.
Existing CFIs should confirm the timing and documentation for their own recent-experience situation before purchasing. Current regulations use recent-experience requirements; the provider also explains the transition from older renewal terminology. Course participation is not initial CFI certification, and completing lessons is only part of the applicable documentation process.
