AVSeminars cuts prices on CFI renewals

By Janice Wood · July 5, 2010 ·

AVSeminars has cut prices on its CFI renewals to $96 from $169. The price reduction came about because of AVSeminars President Bruce Micek’s “deep concern” about CFI attrition. “These are economic times when we’re all reassessing expenditures. We’re hearing from growing numbers of CFIs who simply aren’t renewing their CFI licenses because of renewal costs versus anticipated income,” he said. “CFIs are the true lifeblood of aviation. Whether or not they’re active in the profession, each CFI loss represents one more significant step backward in the rebuilding process of general aviation. We’re doing our best to cut renewal costs to the bone to keep all CFIs in the game.”

The price reduction applies to both AVSeminars Webinar-based FIRCs and live seminars. The $96 price includes the FAA Temporary Airman’s Certificate at no additional charge. The full schedule of CFI Renewal courses is available at AVSeminars.com. For more information: 888-520-FIRC (3472).
