There are tertiary benefits to attending AIS that you may or may not know about. They have an FAA testing center in the building. Recommend you invest in the Sheppard Air software for your particular needs and take advantage of the free examinations. You'll have to balance any personal tests with the normal daily course load though. You can also easily get the Part 107 Remote Pilot certificate if you meet the specs. You just need a current FAA biennial flight review; a manned aircraft Form 8 works. Its a quick online quiz and then an endorsement in IACRA from a CFI. Part 107 may enhance your resume or provide side gig opportunities. https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/become_a_drone_pilot Feel free to PM for more info.

Recommend taking a look at the FAA's Aviation Instructor's Handbook; covers learning theory, teaching adults, and more. Free for download here: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/aviation_instructors_handbook FYI, this is the material CFI candidates study leading up to the Fundamentals of Instruction FAA knowledge test. --MFE
