Which school did you attend for accelerated cfi training?

Looking for information on personal experiences, pros and cons of accelerated cfi training?
How much studying did you complete before training?
Were you successful within 10-14 days in the accelerated course?
Dpe availability for accelerated course?

Yes, you will pass in 10-14 days, you don’t have to study squat in advance and there will be a DPE to pencil whip you through.

No, the CFI puppy mills started long after I got my CFI. Allowing DPEs to do the testing has been a blessing to those businesses.
 
Aviation definitely needs more pencil whipped CFIs
 
Back in 2000, I asked the local DPE what he recommended for me getting the CFI rating. He looked me in the eyes and said, "Do you really want to teach, or do you just want an add-on rating?"

It was a good question. I was in my 50s and told him I thought it would be a good retirement job. He sent me to a local CFI who had the reputation of students passing the checkride.

So, I would ask the OP the same question. Do you really want to teach? If that is your goal, avoid the quickie schools, because you will not have time to really learn and retain the knowledge and experience.
