How the study works.

  1. Prepare in your own time

    Use computer-based learning to work through the concepts and practise questions.

  2. Learn with an instructor

    Subject classes and revision help connect theory to practical flying.

  3. Check your progress

    Use revision materials and mock assessments to identify topics needing more work.

  4. Prepare for the IAA examinations

    The club reviews readiness and explains the examination recommendation process.

Your ground school questions.

Can I join if I train elsewhere?

The club welcomes enquiries from students at other schools. We will confirm membership, records and examination recommendation arrangements before enrolment.

Can I study only the conversion subjects?

Ask about Air Law and Human Performance for the applicable ICAO conversion route. We will confirm the correct course and exam requirements.

When should I start?

Discuss the timing with your instructor so that theoretical learning supports your flying and examination validity is managed.

Where are the fees?

All course, CBT and membership pricing is maintained on the dedicated pricing page.
