Review of Pilot Institute


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

material is good, nightmare accessing it.

I think their material is good. The problem is it’s a major battle to access it. I spent days just trying to log on because they’re using another website to host. Their material and notices were coming through and going directly into my spam folder. And part that was my fault because I had a couple of spam filters built-in. Once I got rid of those, the email showed up, but still went to spam. In any event, it took me almost a week to sort that out and I wanted to be studying. What apparently my webpage timed out I had to login again and once again, it was confusing because there is there a Pilot Institute logon and then there is C Teachable Zio website , I thought I had registered the same username and password for both. I should not have even had to have two passwords and usernames. I’ll top of all that for some reason it’s not allowing my password organizer to insert that information automatically. I don’t know why it works for every other application or webpage I should say. Will next day have this flash card I had a minute seems pretty good OK so that was fine next to refer me to some videos? Well, I thought that’s what their course was. The videos were external they’re only accessible on Apple devices and you have to go to the teachable.io website again, and this time I had to fill out page after page of questionnaires about teaching ! Why I have no interest in teaching I just want to take the stupid course the bottom line is you will want to shoot yourself you’ll be so upset just trying to access a material for Pilot Institute. Whoever was in charge of marketing that screwed up. They took what was probably a pretty good program, and they try to offload , the hosting of it somewhere else and they botched it. It just made it too complicated. Nobody wants to have two logins. Nobody wants to have videos over here flashcards as an app and then a webpage that you can access sometimes and then a few days later it’s so complicated to logon you’re like screaming a girl like what happened I thought I had to sort it out. I gave up and decided to ask for my money back. I’ll start start over with somebody else, it’s just isn’t worth it using Pilot Institute. I wish it was because I think they got good material. It’s just said it’s too hard to get it, and into many places. PDF files you have to download with the FAA? Really you’re just gonna refer us over to somebody else? It’s all like that I think I could probably study for this on my own and I’d be much further along than I am right now dealing with the complexities of just logging on to more than one website, I try to decipher how to even find the material. I never did find the videos. I quit. I’m done. The Pilot Institute is like medieval torture. You need to avoid at all costs.
