| Review: | Don't go here! I've never met an epic student who was happy with their training. FACT: Epic mis-managed its fleet so badly that they had to come begging ATP to lease them their oldest '79 series Piper Seminoles. FACT: Epic's own instructors were not paid or had their pay checks bounce at one point. FACT: Epic does a very poor job communicating with their students and keeping them informed! Its not uncommon to see students just waiting around not knowing when their instructor is going to show up. Look at the reviews here. They are either terrible or glowing. Believe the bad ones, they all have the same consistent message; Don't pay up front, the management is poor, and the garuntees are worthless. The reviews giving Epic 10/10 are clearly made up by current Epic staff. I would say try looking at ATP. Since you'd be flying their aircraft anyway. However, ATP recently hired Mike Campbell (former Epic manager) as their sales guy at Daytona Beach. So now you're sure to be getting the same empty promises and BS from ATP that dragged Epic down. Epic and Campbell both have a terrible reputation in the area. Please talk to current or former Epic students about the school's reputation! Not the Epic staff!! If you want a recommendation on where to do your training, contact an FAA Pilot Examiner. They do check rides at every flight school and see the results first hand. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Total fraud school This school is a total fraud. I am a former student. Their fixed price programs are a sham. After they take all the money, they remove you from the fixed program on some lame excuse. They do not have even have their own multi engine planes for training. Their fleet advertised on the website is a joke. They charge exorbitant rent for substandard housing. The housing pictures advertised on the website are fake. They treat all students on M1 visas especially badly. They threaten to cancel your M1 visa if you dont obey their diktats. Comments [ 3 ] |

| Review: | DON'T COME TO EPIC AVIATION If anyone out there planning to come to Epic Aviation for their pilot training, STOP the process to come here and find some other school around STATES. There are lot of better school than Epic. The management is after your money. They don't smile at students and they are so selfish. We have to BEG them, if we need something from them. If I want to list all the bad thing about this school, I can't stop writing here. SO guyz, don't come here and find some other school. Coming here is the biggest mistake that I have done in my carrier. I don't want anyone of you to come here go through what I have been. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Not a Good Place for students Well i read some reviews, both good and bad and ignored the bad part thinking that different people have different opinion and no flight school can satisfy each and every one. With a positive opinion, I stepped in Epic. "Why did u joined the freaking epic..." was the question a guy asked me who was supposed to be my house mate at Ocean oaks(epic housing). After few days of my experience with epic i realized "why am i here" and started recalling what sin did i do in the past that god cursed me with epic. The management really sucks. there is nothing called respecting students. every one in the management are all concerned about getting money from the students and not bothered to give the same value of flight training. Surprising was that the management was so cruel that they fired a Chief of the school as he was the guy who always favored students because i am afraid he was helping students so he got fired. Finally beware of epic president Mike Campbell and admissions Danny Perna. Finally these guys will definitely get some punishment in their lives for deceiving innocent students. Comments [ 1 ] |

| Review: | Very Happy I came for PPL and IR. Now I convert to JAA license. It was very quick and I received all the attention I desired for my studies. Very experienced instructors. I work hard and thus treated with the respect of a customer. I am pleased with my service at Epic. With 4 new multi-aircraft on the flight line I am pleased to come back for this training in a few months. Comments [ 1 ] |
