CFI Training Materials

Becoming a certified flight instructor is one of the most demanding steps in an aviation career. The CFI certificate requires not just flying proficiency, it requires the ability to teach, explain, and demonstrate aviation concepts to students at every level. The Fundamentals of Instruction written exam tests your understanding of learning theory, teaching techniques, and human behavior, knowledge that most pilots have not formally studied before.

Our CFI training collection covers the Fundamentals of Instruction handbook and written test prep, the CFI practical test standards, flight instructor-specific training manuals, and the Aviation Instructor's Handbook that serves as the primary reference for the CFI certificate. Brands like ASA, Jeppesen, and Gleim offer comprehensive CFI training kits that cover both the FOI and CFI written exams in one package.
