ATPL theory with ASG

Thank you for your interest in completing your ATPL theory training course
with ASG. We hope that this brochure will address any questions that you
might have but please also feel free to contact us right away if you need
any further information at all, we would be very happy to help.
ABOUT US Founded in Ireland in 2015, ASG is an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) of
the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) that delivers Air Transport Pilot
Licence (ATPL), Private Pilot Licence (PPL), and Flight Operations theoretical
training.

Our approach to aviation theory training aims to provide you, our customer,
with a personalised, responsive, and high quality training experience. We always
try to ensure the optimum learning environment, support students throughout
their ATPL training journey, limit class sizes, and deliver the highest standard of
theoretical knowledge instruction.

What makes us different to

other training providers?

We specialise in the provision of EASA ATPL theoretical training. This is what we do – it is our sole focus
to ensure that we provide you with the best possible training experience. Our philosophy is to provide
high quality instruction which will benefit you throughout your career in aviation - from job interview to
operations as an Airline Pilot. Our learning centre, which is accessible across all devices and even offline,
also contains hundreds of hours of exclusive high-quality videos and learning content created by ASG
instructors and discussion forums to provide you with the learning support that you need when learning
by distance learning, and to help you to maximise your grades and to progress through your ATPL theory
in a fun and engaging way.

Our instructors differentiate us from other training organisations. They are passionate about what they do
and each one is chosen for their subject matter expertise and practical industry experience. This approach
adds real value to your training experience by providing valuable real-world context and helps to bring
the subject to life so that you learn the theory in a more impactful and memorable way. While many other
training organisations assign a small number of flight instructors to teach the entire ATPL syllabus, each one
of our instructors are specialists in their specific subject area. Importantly, they are also operational in the
aviation industry and include current airline pilots, type rating instructors, aircraft and avionics technicians,
human factors specialists, military pilot instructors, aeronautical engineers, and air traffic controllers.

Aside from being more likely to excel at your exams, with our approach to ATPL theory you are much
more likely to retain the important information which you will learn, be more prepared to land your
first job, and be able to operate more effectively throughout your career as an professional Pilot. The
choice as to where you complete your theoretical knowledge training is an important one and a key
determining factor should be the quality of the training and the instructors who will be delivering it you
as you take this very important step towards becoming a professional Pilot.

Aside from many satisfied Airline Pilot students, over the past number of years ASG has become
synonymous with high training standards across the wider aviation industry. Some of our recent
customers also include: Aer Lingus, Norwegian Air, SAS Airlines, the Irish Coastguard, Ernst & Young,
Aramark, Skyguide, the Irish Air Corps, Stobart Air, ASL Airlines, Aluminium Offshore, Cityjet, Hibernian
Airlines, DAS Private Jets, Enrst & Young, Catraeus Aircraft, Global Flight Training Solutions (GFTS),
SkyMates Flight Academy, American Aviation Academy, and Simtech Aviation.

Furthermore, as a result of our extensive partnerships with other aviation organisations, another key
benefit of becoming an ASG ATPL student is that we have negotiated a number of exclusive offers for
you to complete your hour building, your Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) and Multi-Engine Instrument
rating (IR-ME), and your Multi-Crew Co-operation (MCC) course. These packages and offers are
exclusively available to ASG ATPL students.

Our ATPL theory course

As long as you hold an ICAO PPL, you can enrol for our EASA ATPL theory
course at any time. There are no specific start dates but you will need
to plan which revision class dates that you would like to attend as you
progress through your training with us. From the date you commence
training with us, you should aim to sit your first module revision classes
approximately 8 to 12 weeks later.

The course is completed at your own pace and the expected duration of the
course will differ from student to student. Most of our students complete
the entire course and the associated examinations within between 6 to
18 months depending on how much time that they can commit to their
studies, the quality of their study, and how quickly they can assimilate
the theoretical material. While it is difficult to give a precise estimate of
weekly study time, a good working estimate is approximately 15 to 20
hours of study per week.

Throughout the distance learning element of your training, you will work
through your PadPilot iBooks together with the ASG tutorials and learning
material on our own learning centre. You will also be able to complete all
the associated progress and our final exams which are necessary for your
sign-off to commence your official EASA examinations there. You will
find all the support (including chat forums) that you need on our learning
centre and of course you can also always e-mail, message, or call us at any
time if you need some advice.

Your ATPL revision classes
As part of your course, you will need to attend a total of 10 days’ classroom revision in order to meet
the EASA classroom hours requirements. These revision classes are attended across three separate
modules: 4 days for module 1, 3 days for module 2, and 3 days for module 3.

Air Law & ATC Procedures

You must attend each of the respective revision class modules in a single sitting and, for regulatory
reasons, we are not permitted to facilitate your attendance on single or standalone days for individual
subjects. However, once you have met the overall sign-off requirements and have attended the entire
module, depending on student numbers, we would be happy to facilitate you attending individual
classes again in the future to refresh your knowledge at no additional cost.

You are also not restricted in terms of the number or indeed the order of the examinations that you elect
to sit. For example, you might choose to complete your module 1 revision days with us in February and
sit certain examinations in February and the remainder of the subjects on a separate sitting. Indeed, you
can also sit our revision classes but elect to complete all of your examinations at a later examination
sitting.

How can I attend the revision classes?

We provide you with the ultimate
flexibility when choosing how
you would like to attend your TRAINING I CONSULTANCY I SERVICES

ATPL revision classes with us. You

can attend your revision classes
physically, remotely, or both: it’s
entirely up to you!

Physical attendance for revision classes
Each of our classes are physically held at our premises at Kestrel House, Dublin Airport Logistics
Park, Ireland, K67 V124. The classes are conducted between 12 – 8pm (Dublin time).

Our facilities are a unique aviation training environment ideal for an aspiring aviation student. With over
20,000 square feet available located right next to Dublin Airport, the entire building has been designed
from the ground up to provide a bespoke, convenient, and a best-in-class learning environment for
aviation professionals. We share the facility with a number of airlines and training organisations and it
houses a fleet of full-motion and fixed-base Flight Simulation Devices, some of which our students even
get to sample on their breaks from classes.

Remote attendance for revision classes

You can also choose to attend your classes remotely
through our hybrid ATPL classroom. You can even
alternate from day to day, by logging in on one day
or physically attending the class on the next.

For our remote learners, we have invested

significantly in technology and training to ensure the
most effective possible remote learning environment
for those who decide to attend classes in this way.
In order to ensure a fantastic classroom experience,
our classroom is equipped with 4K definition
webcams, RØDE broadcast quality microphones, a
dedicated instructor login station, and a classroom
facing flat-screen display where the faces of those
attending remotely will even be displayed to the
students who are attending physically so that
everyone feels part of our classroom environment.
We have conducted a lot of research in trying to
improve the student experience and out instructors
have received specific training in the delivery of
training to a hybrid audience i.e. with some students
physically attending and others attending remotely.

If I choose the remote learning option,
do I have to travel to ASG?

No. If you prefer, all of your EASA ATPL theory training can be completed remotely including your
revision classes, progress tests, and ATO exams. However, you are also more than welcome to travel and
physically attend the classes with us at our facility near Dublin Airport.

You can then sit your ATPL examinations under any EASA
authority. For example, you could sit your examinations with
the IAA in Ireland, ENAC in Italy, FOCA in Switzerland, DGAC
in France, or any other EASA authority. There are EASA
examination centres all across Europe, the US, and Asia. Upon
successful module and course completion, we will provide
you with our ATO sign-off which will permit you to sit your
ATPL examinations under any EASA authority.

When are the classes and

how can I reserve my place?

In order to assist you with your own personal planning, all of our revision class dates are published and
you can reserve your place in just a few seconds using our online booking system as soon as you have
completed your enrolment as an ASG student. We suggest that you book your class places as early as
possible to avoid disappointment. To ensure a high quality learning experience, we limit our class sizes
and our booking engine has been calibrated to limit student numbers to not more than 10 student
registrations per revision class. Classroom places are allocated on a “first-come first served” basis.

Important pre-course information is provided following your registration for a class and registration
should be completed at least 14 days prior to class commencement regardless of how you intend to
attend the class. Once you have registered, you will receive all of the necessary pre-class information
including the classroom timings, links for those attending virtually, and the instructor contact information.
