I found the Instrument Rating Ground School and Flying to be one of the most challenging portions of my flight training. I never quite grasped many of the concepts or the calculations, such as alternate minima etc., when it was taught in the classroom and struggled to visualize what it would look like. After obtaining the INRAT Exam Prep, I learned all the concepts from scratch thanks to Dean and Jason's ability to simplify concepts and provide ample examples and visualizations for each topic. It took a month for me to get the INRAT exam prep to excel in my INRAT TC Exam just by going through the materials, practicing the questions within, and giving Jason a call regarding any confusion. It will overprepare you for your instrument rating training, which is worth every penny.

Purchasing the INRAT exam prep course was the best thing I ever did. I love how everything was explained and broken down in such great detail that helped me understand everything I needed to know to pass the exam. One of my weak areas was VOR & ADF intercepts and dean did an amazing job explaining and it just clicked for me, great job guys for creating this product. Ever since I used it I recommended it to my friends aswell to give them the same opportunity I had to pass my exam by using this resource.

The program was perfect for me. Informative and concise slides that were accompanied by clear audio. Whenever I was stuck or confused by a topic/question I would write it down in the discussion board and within a few hours, someone would reach out to me with a detailed explanation. Big thanks to Jason and Dean for being so responsive. They are truly there to help you whenever you’re feeling lost. I have now developed a strong foundation to move forward in my IFR training with confidence. Thanks again. Cheston

For anyone considering doing the INRAT exam prep, if its the ground school seminar and or the online ground school course, I’d highly recommend no other option... I’ve always had a hard time studying and found this course simple amazing. The information provided is easy to understand and follows a very good structure, making the unknown known and hard concepts made easy.. at the end of each subject they provided exams, which follows what you would expect to see on the exam. During the progression of this course whenever I had topics I did not understand, and or needed help, they were always quick to answer and made time to actually explain. I passed the INRAT and owe credit to these gentleman whom took the time to make such a wonderful course and to made time for a fellow aviator. I wish you blue skies and the best in your studying, and INRAT exam!

Amazing course! Passed my INRAT exam within 1 month of starting the course. Easy to navigate and everything is well explained with over 5 practice exams. You can easily schedule 1 on 1 time with an instructor and/or get a response to any question(s) within just a day. This course doesn’t just prepare you for the INRAT exam but also provides you with a great knowledge of Instrument Flight Rules for your flight training. Would definitely recommend this course to any pilot looking to get their Instrument Rating.

I have been wanting to hold an IFR Rating for over 30 years but I always had an excuse for myself not to proceed or even start it. I knew it would be challenging and I had many people tell me how difficult the INRAT exam was which was also discouraging. For years I asked myself...could I even do it? Shortly after I finally made the commitment to take my IFR rating, I came across INRAT Exam Prep and the timing was perfect. I found the course to be well organized, and all the information was available to me to pass the INRAT exam. I had a lot of questions as I went through the course. The answers were provided to me in a timely and professional manner. There were no dumb questions... At no time did I feel intimidated and the online course made the process much easier for me and my lifestyle. I would highly recommend INRAT Exam Prep to anyone who is considering an IFR Rating or having the feeling of "INRAT intimidation" as I had for so many years. I even took it a step further and did my flight training with Dean as well which was further added-value. The INRAT exam was certainly not easy, but Dean made my experience much more comfortable and I passed the exam just yesterday! I appreciate all you have done for me. Thank you Dean and Jason! Stephen

This course was loads of fun and it gave me something which is definitely a challenge when studying for the INRAT Exam: structure. The crew was also amazing, always in touch, always there to support, and I truly felt like I was participating in something. I got 82% on my exam, so I guess it worked :)
