Apex Advantage runs live, instructor-led Private Pilot ground school for students anywhere in California — no local classroom required, taught by CFI/CFII Andrew Serrazina in the evening (Central Time, Pacific students welcome).
Ground school shouldn't come down to what happens to exist within driving distance. Apex Advantage delivers its Private Pilot ground school live and virtual, which means Los Angeles-area students get a real instructor and a real schedule — the same class Apex runs everywhere else in California and beyond, with no fixed sequence to fall behind in.
