Thorough InstructionView more testimonials
Norm Rathje is very thorough and spends as much time on techniques as the student needs. I was most appreciative of Norm’s classroom training and his many helpful classroom materials. Norm prepared me well for my oral and flight exams, both of which I passed on the first try.
