"Could hardly be better. I feel that I learnt more than the minimum required to pass the exams - and am pleased with this. I feel that I have actually learnt something from the course, information that I will retain and will be of use to me in the rest of my career."
Aaron Whiting - 100% Flight Planning, 1st attempt! - ATPL

"As a working pilot I simply did not have the time to complete a full time course so correspondence was my only option. The Secombe Aviation course was so well structured that I found learning my ATPL Theory easier than I thought possible. I would recommend this exceptionally well thought out course to anyone."
Stephen Taylor - ATPL

"A comprehensive, easy to follow ATPL course for the professional pilot, without a lot of time on their hands."
Jason Boersma - 86% average over all subjects! - ATPL

"I found the Secombe Aviation course to be well presented, convenient and professional. I was able to study at home, at my own pace without any loss of income. On the occasion when I required assistance, Gavin was always available on his 1800 Help line. Now that I have completed the course, I now have an excellent reference source for future use in well presented files."
Salv Ciraolo - ATPL

"As a "mature aged" student who has not studied for some years I cannot recommend this course highly enough. It is a credit to its author. Thankyou Gavin for helping me achieve what I considered near impossible."
Ken Mosedale - ATPL

"I've looked at other courses and often thought when looking at an explanation of a procedure (eg TAS/CAS/MN calculations) "Hang on, it's not this complicated!" That's because your course makes things as simple and straightforward as possible."
Kevin Lathbury - ATPL

"I found the course to be excellent. The structure of each subject was very well thought out and presentation was great. Probably the best feature of the course was the thorough revision questions and practise exams and your comments on returned work. The 1800 Help Line was invaluable."
Paul Schifferle - ATPL

"Working full time and therefore not being able to attend classroom courses to study for the ATPL (A) exams, I chose to take the Secombe Aviation course after carefully shopping around. The investment was very worthwhile. I could study at my own pace, where I wanted to, and received thorough tuition and professional, on-going support throughout the course. The course is very well structured and presented. This course will undoubtedly prepare you for the ATPL exams, and I highly recommend it to aspiring professional Pilots who are pressed for study time or cannot make the classroom course."
Chris Lin - ATPL

"I have encountered many tutors in many fields of endeavour during the last 40ish years, some good, some not so good and some just awful. Without a doubt you are to date the most talented."
Vaughan Jones

"I doubt if I could have done better in a classroom situation - even when I wanted help near the exam period you were always available to talk - or at worst you returned my call straight after attending with other students. In a classroom situation the competition for instructor time would have been much more substantial and I doubt there would be a 1800 Help Line available all hours of the day and evening. Whilst I have now finished - the notes will provide an excellent reference throughout my career. Your course also reduced the exam stress as much as possible by enabling full concentration on a few subjects per exam sitting. Working at your own pace is great!"
James Ewart - ATPL
