Certificate of Completion

When you finish, you can optionally buy a verifiable Certificate of Completion for a one-time $99. It records that you completed this ground school — it is not an FAA pilot certificate or an instructor endorsement.

Backed by a proposal

Money-back guarantee

For the optional certificate, we are designing a pass-guarantee with clear eligibility rules. Read the proposed guarantee terms.

No guaranteed passage claimed. No course can guarantee you pass the FAA knowledge test — outcomes depend on your effort and the official exam. The optional Certificate of Completion is a record of finishing this ground school, not an FAA certificate. The proposed money-back guarantee refers to a possible refund of the certificate fee under defined conditions, not a promise of passing. Exact commercial terms are pending legal review.
