TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
The published airplane and helicopter options make this a useful school to compare when choosing between the two training paths. Request a separate syllabus and budget for your chosen category, including any prerequisites for a category change. The published aircraft models make equipment comparisons easier; ask which aircraft is assigned to your course and what backup is available. Confirm the campus before relying on a school-wide program or fleet description.

WHAT THE AVAILABLE FEEDBACK TELLS US
Student review evidence.
Medford Groupon evidence: The matching Groupon page contains introductory-flight customers describing a knowledgeable instructor, useful preparation before the flight, and attention to their comfort. One gift recipient enjoyed handling the aircraft. The feedback concerns one-off flying experiences, with little information about an extended course, repeated lessons, or certificate completion. The accessible Groupon sample concerns introductory experiences; a separate complaint targets Groupon itself, not the school's instruction. Confirm current scheduling, total costs, and course completion expectations with recent students at this location.
