When are the classes conducted?
The "in-class" element of our PPL theory classes are conducted over two weekends (4 days attendance in total) from 9 to 5pm. These classes are timed in line with the published Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) PPL exam sittings which take place every two months (see here). For example, we have revision dates for all modules in early April in advance of the IAA's April examination dates, in early June in time for the June exam sittings and so on.
All of our training is conducted at Kestrel House in the Dublin Airport Logistics Park right next to Dublin Airport. Now, with our hybrid classroom, you can choose to "sit in" or "login" and even alternate between both by physically attending class on one day and logging in for the class the next day - this option provides students with the ultimate flexibility for your PPL theory course.

The hybrid classroom concept
ASG now offers an innovative "hybrid" classroom concept in order to provide you with the ultimate flexibility when choosing how you 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!
