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!
At ASG, we have also invested significantly into developing our own learning centre ecosystem which was designed with a focus on providing our students with the best possible training, and learning support, to maximise their potential throughout their ATPL theory learning journey with us. You will have access to hundreds of hours of high-quality ATPL theory video tutorials, and hints and tips, and learning content created by ASG instructors to provide you with the learning support that you need when learning by distance learning, and to support you in every step of your ATPL theory journey in a fun and engaging way.
Through our high quality instruction and supportive learning ecosystem, 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. The choice as to where you complete your theoretical knowledge training is an important one, and the determining factor should be quality. Don't just "tick the box".

Our instructors
Our best asset is our passionate instructional team; each ATPL instructor is chosen for his or her subject matter expertise and practical industry experience, adding real value to our students’ training experience by bringing the material to life.
Each one of our ATPL instructors are selected for their practical industry experience and expertise in their theoretical domains. While many ATO's use their day-to-day flight instructors for ATPL instruction, by using subject matter experts (directly from industry) we can focus on providing the highest quality of training. We hire directly from the aviation industry and our instructors include: current airline pilots, type rating instructors, aircraft and avionics technicians, human factors specialists, military pilot instructors, aeronautical engineers, and air traffic controllers. Meet our team and decide for yourself!

Our facilities
Our facilities are a unique aviation training environment ideal for an aspiring aviation student. With over 20,000 square feet available located 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 get to sample on their breaks from classes.
Our online classroom option for remote attendance
ASG offers an innovative "hybrid" classroom concept in order to provide you with the ultimate flexibility when choosing how they would like to attend their ATPL revision classes with us. Students can now choose to sit-in or log-in for their classes. You can even alternate from day to day, by logging in on one day or physically attending the class on the next.
The concept is simple: our "live" ATPL revision classes are conducted on location in Dublin, Ireland. Some students may be "in-class" and others will be attending by logging in. In order to ensure a fantastic classroom experience for those attending remotely, we have invested in 4K 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 everyone will feel part of our new "hybrid" classroom environment! It even allows our current students to decide to "drop in" for a subject revision if they have already completed the respective model (subject to classroom capacity).
Our module revision days take place regularly and all of our class dates are published here and you can easily book your place using our online booking system. You can plan the dates for your modules in advance and if the plan changes (depending on your progress) you can easily switch on to a later revision period.
