Interactive Lessons and Aviation's Smartest Quizzing Engine Make Learning Fun!

Don't settle for boring videos that race through so fast you can't keep up. You shouldn't have to take notes in order to learn. You need upbeat, fun lessons that you can put to use when flying with your instructor!
At Gold Seal, lessons are interactive. You don't just sit there and watch. The system tracks your progress so that you, and your instructor, have a clear view of your accomplishments. Every quiz is archived. Review them at any time and focus on the test questions that are most difficult.

"When I got ready for my knowledge test, I found Gold Seal and am so happy I did. The course explains everything thoroughly, using 3D animations and interaction to make things easy to understand. With the quizzes, animated flash cards, and unlimited practice exams, you can't go wrong with Gold Seal. That is why I have personally recommended it to so many people."

"In aviation, there is a lot to learn, but Gold Seal breaks it down into easily-digested modules. It's awesome! Their interactive segments and comprehensive quizzing engine bring it all to life. It is straight-to-the-point information that you need not only for written test success, but also for safe and confident flying. Gold Seal is your best route to true pilot proficiency. I simply cannot recommend them enough."
