Home Study for CFI-g

Anyone have a good recommendation for a home study course for CFI-G. Seems that all there is available is books with the questions and answers. Working on the Fundamentals Of Instruction right now.

You probably will want the "Glider Flight Instructor Manual."
Includes the "Accident Prevention Manual for Glider Flight
Instructors" and other important items.
Order from www.eglider.org

You will also find articles about flight training on this web site.

I put together a lot of CFI study materials on a webpage. I'm
particularly fond of my "plain English FARs" which is the part that
gave me the most trouble.

At your current stage the most crucial resource is the
Aviation Instructor's Handbook (link listed at the top of John's
list). For me, this book was the real eye-opener about becoming
an instructor. Also, this is what the FAA examiner will be mostly
concentrating on when you take your instructor checkride. When I
got my checkride I never got to touch the stick!

Hmm, I guess John's pointing at a different book. Anyway, the
FAA book I'm talking about is at:

I took my CFIG writtens and practical in 2010. I used the ASA Test
Prep software to study for the FOI and Glider Aeronautical writtens.
Seemed to work fine for me with above a 90 on both exams. You get the
exam sign off directly from ASA via email once you email them three
scores of above 80 percent.

Originally I tried just using the ASA book (this was a long time ago).
The questions and answers didn't make any sense to me until I read the
FAA manual. Once I read the manual the FOI test was easy.

WOW. Thanks for all the information, especially from John C. Amazing the amount of information one needs to learn. I need to see if the ASA information is available for a Mac, not a PC guy.

When I did mine in 2004 you did not need a sign off to take the FOI or
Instructor written exams.

You are correct. To the best of my knowledge those are two exams that
do not require a sign off. ASA will email you one though.
