His teaching style is direct and to the point. He puts a lot of enthusiasm and energy into the video lessons to keep you engaged and taking in the information.

The Course #

Part 107 Bootcamp is just like the course name suggests – it will give you a basic crash course in the knowledge you need to pass the FAA knowledge test.

The basic subject areas covered in the FAA exam are explained in the course in a bare-minimum style, which is perfect if you want to get through the course and on to the test in as short a time as possible.

The course is broken down into five units, with multiple video lessons in each unit covering all the related information. A quiz at the end of each unit tests your comprehension and retention of the material. 

The video lessons are much more than a talking face, with lots of added interest through photos, film-style video clips, and diagrams.

The engaging style speaks to Chris Newman’s cinematography background and is sure to keep you interested and learning.

Once you’ve finished all the teaching videos, you have a chance to test your learning on a 116-question practice exam. This will help you gauge your readiness for the real FAA test.
