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.

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.

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!

This course is a breath of fresh air. The UI is very easy to use and the audio recordings are helpful. The practice exam was very similar to the particular INRAT that I wrote. Thanks to Dean and Jason, I got 82% on my INRAT!
