Default Re: Ground school and high school

Screw it...take a college course. HS credits/GPA mean pretty much nothing once you've finished a semester of college.
Community College of Southern Nevada has an aviation degree (which I've been trying to finish for years). 3 credits (just like this ground school) but it would only cost $150. Same with instrument, commercial, and the incidental courses like Nav, WX, CRM, and Air Transportation(history).They have a program to let HS kids take classes too.

Look around because $450 is a CRAP LOAD of money for ground school. You could take private, instrument and commercial ground schools for that much

Also, take it at a college level and you could possibly get financial aid.
