I was…read moreexpecting to first have a classroom lesson but nope, instructor Maria Fernanda introduced herself and we boarded the Cessna 172. She explained the controls to me and told me what we were going to do that day and we were off! I must admit I was pretty nervous having two lives as my responsibility but the flight was amazing. We flew over South Beach and back to the airport, it was a short 45 minute experience and so worth it! Now I want to learn more but have yet to receive the email the staff said they would send me with the class information. Much recommended for anyone who is curious about flying and want to try a bit of adrenaline!

He was super friendly and smiled alot, showed me his planes that were available for viewing (most were out flying). School is small and is a part #61. If this is what you are looking for I would recommend this school. They also offer an accelerated program at a discount if you pay in advance. Oh, Kareem has a heavy accent, but its not too hard to understand. Best of luck!

Very good tour and fun flying experience. He let me taxi, takeoff and fly. He game me the option of flying more or having him fly so I could take photos.

I rented one of their Diamond DA40s for the first time for a weekend trip with my family.

I strongly encourage you to consider Dare to Dream to pursue your training / general aviation interests - you won't be disappointed!

There were several things that were critical to me: 1) well maintained aircraft 2) advanced cockpit/glass panel and 3) exceptionally good instruction I found all 3 at Berichi Aviation so I traveled from Virginia to knock out my add-on in short order. I had all the necessary info ahead of time which meant that we were effectively training right away. Charlie relied on his experience to assess my abilities and created a bespoke syllabus that eliminated unnecessary time or cycles. The bottom line is that I was over-prepared for my checkride, which in my experience, is exactly what I would have expected.

Having played poker in a casino over 15 years, I have decided to give dealing a shot. I have…read morealways wanted to deal poker professionally, be it part or full time. But I have no experience sooooo I enrolled in the Mizrachi Dealer Academy Inc. The program is 120 hours long, which takes about 6 weeks minimum considering the dealer school is only open M-Th. I currently have logged about 18 hours and it is a definite W.I.P (work in progress). Stacy, the instructor, is very demanding and has her own in-your-face style. But there is no doubt an end game method to the style. Poker dealers generally take in between 50k-60k so going to poker school is worth it. In order to get a dealing position, one must pass an audition at a casino. There is where the poker school is crucial because of contacts to local poker rooms. Otherwise, it is tough to get that perverbial foot in the door. Stacy teaches you the proper techniques from the ground up. But, as there are other students, one must also practice well on his or her own. I currently have my own green felt and poker chips at home for practice purposes. Completing the 120 hour course does not guarantee anyone a diploma and an audition, as everyone learns at a different pace. But those students with over 120 hours are allowed to attend the classes until they are audition ready. Gulfstream Casino and Mardi Gras Casino are the two major contacts in connection with the dealer school. However, once you become an adept dealer with a diploma, most other casinos may give you a look. I only know of a few other poker dealer schools in South Florida. Based on my 18 hour experience so far, the Mizrachi Dealer Academy Inc is the way to go. Because if you can handle the pressure there, I believe it to be a piece of cake dealing for real in a casino. You are taught, among other techniques, how to pitch the cards, count the bank, cut the chips, proper shuffling, the different poker games, count and take the rake, running the game, what to look for, and several other necessities for dealing success. But it's not easy. I know the game well but was surprised how little I knew about dealing. Awkward at first, I now feel like I'm beginning to hit a little groove. The 120 hour course costs $1,300. It may be paid in two increments. So, if you are looking to switch careers like me, give poker dealing and this school a look. It can be a part time job as well...

I'm a nervous wreck and it's hard to believe in myself in most situations! Boy oh boy did Stacy change that. The way she believed in me, helped me to believe in myself. She has a way of making you WANT to be better. If you take her course, you will want to prove yourself to her and it will push you to practice every day. It will push you to want to do it for yourself. She never gives up on you. If the course was double the price I paid, I would still do it. She goes above and beyond to implant the rules in your head. If everyone learned from her, the casinos would all have perfect dealers. I'm so happy I took the step to take this course. I went from a lost waitress to a confident poker dealer and I owe it all to her. Stacy, if you're reading this. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you again.
