Most pilots think of Gleim products as a means to prepare for FAA knowledge and practical tests. This is because, for over 30 years, Gleim test prep books, Test Prep Software, and audios have established Gleim as the standard for FAA test preparation. The Gleim Knowledge Transfer System encourages learning and understanding so you can PASS! In this tradition, we at Gleim are proud to offer the aviation community a refresher course for Certified Flight Instructors.

The Gleim FAA-approved Flight Instructor Refresher Course (FIRC) was developed to increase your knowledge and abilities as an instructor and a pilot. FIRC is a recurrent ground training program designed to improve pilot knowledge and competence. It is a structured, interactive, self-study review and certification program delivered via the Internet.

New! Study Unit 16, "Flight School Security Awareness Training" is a TSA approved lesson for both initial and recurrent TSA FSSA training. Study Unit 16 is free for CFIs and other flight school employees required to have TSA training. A TSA approved certificate of completion is provided at the end of this study unit.

The Gleim FIRC primarily enhances your knowledge level while also renewing your flight instructor certificate. The Gleim system does not just fill the time requirement without regard to content. Rather, the Gleim FIRC makes individuals analyze, synthesize and evaluate information to help them become better instructors and pilots. FIRC requires 16 hours of participation. Use the Gleim FIRC and you will improve your knowledge, skills and abilities.

Flight Instruction can be a very rewarding activity, but without sufficient training and a focus on safety, it can be frustrating and even dangerous. Make sure you have all the up-to-date information so you can pass it along to each of your flight students. Increasing your knowledge level will make instructing more rewarding. Accordingly, all flight instructors should focus on safety and competence; good recurrent ground training is essential to meet these goals.

The Gleim Flight Instructor Refresher Course is an effective, easy-to-use, and intuitively appealing way to refresh and expand your knowledge while renewing your instructor certificate. Begin now by trying FREE Study Unit One or purchase FIRC for $99.95 or FIRC and ACR for $124.95
