• Fundamentals of Instruction (FoI) is a relatively short (but not particularly easy) written test required of most flight instructor candidates, that tests on theories and methods of learning and teaching. It is a test that is not particularly aviation specific. Sometimes, people other than flight instructor candidates are also required to take the FoI written test. This software will prepare you for the actual questions that you are likely to encounter during your FAA Fundamentals of Instruction written test.
• We are offering a fundamentals of instruction version of GroundSchool at a special low price. What you can buy here is 100% of what you need to study for your FAA FoI written test.
• However, if you are a potential airplane or helicopter flight or ground instructor who will need to take the main CFI/AGI/BGI written test in addition to the FoI, we suggest that you don't buy this FoI-only version, but instead you should purchase full version of GroundSchool - Flight Instructor written test prep which includes BOTH the FoI and the specific flight/ground instructor tests in one.
• Therefore, this order page is for people who know that they need only the FoI and do not need to prepare for any other flight or ground instructor test. If you purchase this FoI-only version, there is NO reduced-price upgrade in the future to the full flight instructor version (thanks for understanding!).

The purchase process for this Fundamentals-of-Instruction ONLY version of GroundSchool is as follows:
