ASG are proud to announce the launch of our Private Pilot Licence (PPL) theory course. In order to launch this new course, we are offering the first eight students who enroll in our PPL theory course a 25% discount on the course price of €900 (just €675). Our first classes will take place over four days of the first two weekends (2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th) in July just prior to the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) examination sittings which take place on 26th - 28th July 2021. Speaking about the new course, ASG MD, Diarmuid O'Riordan, commented that: "We're delighted to be adding to the number of courses that we can offer student Pilots. After a number of years of delivering high quality Air Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) theory, the ASG brand has become synonymous with providing a premium quality theoretical training product to our customers. We decided that it was time that we applied this same approach and training philosophy to students undergoing Private Pilot training. Uniquely, with our hybrid classroom, we will be able to deliver this high quality EASA certified training to PPL students anywhere in the world. This innovative concept provides our customers with the ultimate flexibility when choosing how they would like to attend their PPL revision classes with us. The concept is simple: our "live" PPL 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 who choose to attend remotely, we have invested in 4K webcams, 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 "hybrid" classroom environment!"  ASG limits class sizes to ensure the optimum learning environment, supports students throughout their PPL 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 as a Private Pilot. 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.  Please see here for further details on our PPL course. If you have any questions, please e-mail ppl@asg.ie or call us on +35316859021.

ASG and The APC have today announced the launch of a partnership that is aimed at providing aspirant airline pilots with professional guidance and high-quality theoretical training as they move along the Modular route to an airline pilot career.
APC founder, Captain Andy O’Shea FRAeS along with ASG Managing Director, Diarmuid O’Riordan have unique experience and connections in the airline industry. This partnership will allow them to leverage these wide-ranging resources so that APC members and ASG trainees benefit from introductions to well-known airlines throughout Europe and the best possible start to an airline pilot career. Commenting on the announcement, APC founder and CEO, Captain Andy O’Shea said “We are very pleased to announce the launch of our partnership with ASG. I am very aware of the quality that Diarmuid O’Riordan and his team provides to ASG students. We are excited to give our members access to these and other ASG training services". Diarmuid O’Riordan, ASG’s founder added: “We’re excited to be partnering with the APC. The modular flight training market can prove to be a real challenge to navigate for prospective Pilots with the many options, permutations, and potential pitfalls. The wealth of industry knowledge, training acumen, and experience that both Capts. Andy O’Shea and Petter Hörnfeldt bring to student Pilots is immense. By becoming an APC member, future Pilots can effectively reduce the risks associated with what is a sizable investment – the APC vets its partner ATOs and accepts only those who share their philosophy towards training quality and student success. Moreover, before spending significant sums of money, students who complete APC’s indicative assessment receive a realistic appraisal of their suitability for the role of an airline pilot and, therefore, their likelihood of achieving employment in the future”.

At ASG we decided to host an online social event last night and were delighted to see 34 people drop in! At times like these it's more important than ever to stay connected and engaged. It was fantastic for us also to be joined by Capt. Andy O'Shea, founder of The Airline Pilot Club together with Capt. Petter Hörnfeldt of MentourPilot 360. As Ryanair's Head of Training for over 18 years, Andy trained in excess of 10,000 Pilots as his training department facilitated the airline's growth from just a handful of Boeing 737's to over 470. He provided us with some fascinating airline training and industry insights. #ASG #MentourPilot #ASGATPL #EASAATO #atpls #studentpilot #flyinginireland #atplexams #asgatpl   We're delighted to welcome five new student Airline Pilots to our school.
