Questions

How does the Pass Guarantee work?

Complete 100% of the course and score 80% or higher on the course final. If you then take your FAA knowledge test for the first time within 60 days of your instructor endorsement and don't pass, we'll refund what you paid for the course. The test has to be your first attempt at that FAA test ever. To claim, email zack@venividivolavi.com within 30 days of your test date with your test report, your endorsement, a Course Tracker screenshot showing 100%, and a screenshot of your course final score. One refund per student. It covers GS 101, 201, 301, 401 and 501, and not GS 601 or memberships. Terms apply.
