We attract some of the best students
in the industry for ATPL training.

The reason for this is that students who choose ASG do so because they have a genuine desire for meaningful learning which will benefit them throughout their aviation careers. Here’s what they have to say about us.

The teaching and support I received as a distance learning student with ASG was second to none. The instructors are highly approachable, enthusiastic and interested in their respective subjects which makes the learning experience all the more interesting. I believed the knowledge and insights I obtained while studying with ASG has not only allowed me to pass the ATPL exams but also equipped me with a depth and breadth of knowledge that I will take with me in my future aviation career.

Once I started my ATPL training with ASG, I was completely blown away by the organisation. I am delighted to say that I have since finished with all first time passes and completed my CPL MEIR on schedule thanks to the work put in by all the staff in ASG. I was always looked after, no matter when I had a question or needed help with technical or exam queries. I was incredibly impressed with the instructors, each one had years of experience in their fields…they were able to give insights which went beyond the scope of the syllabus and included a lot of practical advice which I have gone on to use in my CPL MEIR and in the rest of my aviation career.

I could not be happier with the ATPL results, delighted with ASG and all the staff and would definitely recommend them as an ATPL learning provider.

Being Irish and working full time, I wanted an ATPL theory provider that was conveniently located and provided a distance learning course that catered to my needs – ASG was the perfect match. The industry experience, knowledge and enthusiasm of the ASG instructors was a huge benefit during the brush up courses which helped to further supplement the Padpilot training syllabus. From my initial enquiry, to receiving my final exam results 8 months later with first time passes, the ASG team have been a huge support. I’ve recently been offered my first flying job and I owe a lot of this to Diarmuid and the ASG team for the unrivalled instruction and support along the way. Thanks again guys!

I completed my distance learning ATPL course with ASG and cannot recommend them highly enough. I found the professionalism and also the friendliness of the instructors second to none. I completed the course while maintaining full time employment and this was only possible because of the flexibility offered by ASG. Although the course was difficult the review days with Instructors and the availability of instructors for each subject really aided my progress.

I started my distance learning ATPL’s with ASG in September of 2018 and from the very first day Diarmuid and the team could not have been more helpful and supportive. I sat my first set of exams in December and had all 14 ATPL exams completed by June of 2019 with first time passes none of which would have been possible if not for the superb team at ASG. The instructors exceeded all of my expectations with their fantastic in-depth knowledge and small tips and tricks needed to get the results weather it be over email or during the revision days. It is safe to say that ASG is second to none when it comes to choosing an ATO for completing your ATPL exams with and I really cannot recommend them enough.

Can’t recommend ASG enough for the ATPLs, from start to finish, the team have been much better than I could have expected – especially the fact that each subject revision is delivered by an expert in that field, and can give us real life examples of their own personal experiences in the industry – which is invaluable – could not meet a nicer group of lads and highly recommend for your ATPLs.

I can’t recommend ASG for ATPL theory enough. The instructors are top class and continue to help me after completing my exams. Friendly, welcoming and passionate company. You won’t find better.

Great support during the studies, communication and organisation are nice and easy, very friendly staff and helpful instructors!

After finishing my PPL, I began researching all possible options at the flight schools across Ireland to continue training for the ATPL exams. I chose ASG because they offer a fantastic package for modular students which is incomparable learning environment to all others. With instructors that specialise in specific subjects, it really helps you to understand parts of the subject you are struggling with for any upcoming exams. I started in November 2019 and I’m loving it ever since.

I highly recommend ASG for anyone looking to complete their ATPL theory training. Their instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, bringing real-world aviation expertise into the classroom. The newest state-of-the-art facilities create an excellent learning environment, and their online platform is well-structured, making it easy to follow along and stay on track with the syllabus.What sets ASG apart is their ability to link theoretical concepts to practical aviation scenarios, which has been invaluable in preparing for exams and future flying. The flexibility of their distance learning option also made it possible to balance studies with work, flight training and everything else.If you’re looking for a high-quality ATPL theory provider with top-tier instruction and cutting-edge facilities, ASG is an excellent choice!

The ASG ATPL distance learning course is second to none!I was initially apprehensive about completing the ATPL theory while working full-time in the pharma industry. In the end I, passed all 13 exams first time, with an average score of 94.7% in about 10 months. I would not have been able to pull this off with out Diarmuid and his team!The course is tailored to suit the needs of distance learners who have other commitments in addition to completing the exams. The course is self paced, and delivered mostly through the ASG Learning Management System. The LMS is full of pre-recoded lectures exploring at depth some of the most challenging areas of the syllabus. Also, you are never left by yourself during your ATPL journey. Diarmuid and the team are always there to answer questions and they are extremely responsive. Additionally, the LMS allows you to engage in discussion with other students on any issues that you might run into before or after the revision classes. The revision classes can be attended in person or online and that’s a big plus for the distance learners.The quality of instruction provided by the ASG instructors is outstanding. All instructors I’ve had the opportunity to work with were very knowledgable, dedicated and approachable. Crucially all of them were full time plots, working with the Irish Air Corp or Aer Lingus. Therefore all content delivered during the revision classes was relevant, with real life examples.Finally ASG never forget about you. They are always there to help you whether you’re still a student or a long time graduate.I’m glad I’ve chosen ASG and I can’t recommend it enough to all modular students out there!

I chose ASG for my PPL theory as remote learning enabled me to balance the course with college, work, & other commitments. The learning management system is easy to navigate and interact with measuring your subject progression.The instructors at the revision days went above and beyond for the students. They linked the relevance of certain aspects of the theory to the day-to-day operations of an airline.The administration team is excellent. Before my final exam sitting. I was allowed to sit an extra revision day for navigation. The additional help the instructors & classmates provided outside of the classroom helped me understand any areas of difficulty.In conclusion, I'm delighted with the product & service ASG gave. I passed my PPL exams on the first sitting & look forward to beginning my ATPL theory with ASG after my final year of college.

I did the online ATPL-theory course with ASG and I'm thoroughly pleased with the product. The ASG team were quick to respond and went above and beyond to answer all and any questions I had. The instructors are all knowledgeable and good at connecting the often abstract theory to real life operations, as well as providing techniques for dealing with the many difficult exam questions. I definitely credit ASG for making the ATPL-theory less daunting and more manageable!

ASG provided excellent support as I pursued my ATPL exams while working full-time. Their flexible scheduling allowed me to balance my studies with my job effectively. Thanks to their dedicated instructors, I successfully completed my exams and took a significant step forward in my aviation career. Highly recommend ASG for anyone pursuing their pilot license!

Having just completed my final exams this week, I can attest to the quality of the distance learning product offered by ASG for the ATPL theoretical knowledge course.With small class sizes and experienced instructors that are mainly active airline or military pilots, the revision days were really engaging and offered unique insights into some of the key areas of difficulty that just couldn’t be hit by the books. I attended all revision days in person, which I found worked best for me, however, the option to log in remotely was a great perk if needed and the use of quality equipment meant that the whole class was engaged during each lesson.The new online Learning Management System was also excellent for keeping me motivated and accountable throughout the course, offering hours of brilliant webinars and additional reference material for all subjects.Anytime that I had any difficulties or concerns, I found the support team at ASG to be extremely quick at getting back to me, which provided great peace of mind during some stressful weeks.Overall, my experience studying with ASG was very positive and I would recommend considering their product to anyone on their modular ATPL journey.

Simply the best organisation on the Island of Ireland for your ATPL theory (or PPL). They're so good in fact that you need to look overseas to find anyone good enough to compete.There is plenty to say about them whether its (1) quality of training(modern technology, in class vs online etc), (2) quality of instructors (all current and highly experienced commercial and military pilots), (3) Service (outstanding attention to detail and attentive to each student... I could go on.All i know is that I made it through my ATPLs because of them so i highly recommend them as your choice of ATO

Excellent approved training organisation for PPL and the levels above. The lecturers have deep knowledge in the field of aviation and commercial pilot experience. The two block weekend to complete the 9 PPL exams revision was pretty intensive but very helpful. Definitely will consider using ASG once again if I ever proceed with the ATPL route.

Why choose ASG?

​Since our foundation in 2015, our approach to ATPL training has been characterised by providing students with a bespoke, high quality, and personalised training experience. Our training philosophy is to provide premium quality instruction which will benefit prospective airline pilots throughout their career in aviation, from job interview to operations as an Airline Pilot, and not simply to pass the theoretical knowledge examinations – although we know that’s important too!

We limit class sizes to ensure the optimum learning environment, support students throughout their ATPL training journey, and deliver the highest standard of theoretical knowledge instruction. Through our high quality instruction, aside from being more likely to excel at your exams, you are likely to retain this important information, be more prepared to land your first airline job, and operate more effectively throughout your career as an Airline Pilot. Don’t just “tick the box”. The choice as to where you complete your theoretical knowledge training is an important one, and the determining factor should be quality.
