An Absolute Lifesaver
ATPL Exam Prep has been an absolute lifesaver while studying for the ATPL exams (SARON and SAMRA). The question bank is super solid—realistic, well-organized, and the explanations actually help you *learn*, not just memorize. I love that I can study offline, track my weak areas, and just chip away at it whenever I have a few minutes. It’s not a full-on ground school replacement, but it’s hands-down one of the best tools out there for practice and review. Also, a huge shoutout to Dean—thanks so much for the quick and helpful response to my question. That kind of support makes a big difference.

Huge Fan!
I'm a huge fan of ATPL Exam Prep. The course is structured very well, and because of how both exams can share content, I was very grateful that some of the content was repeated as it kept me aware on what I'd need to know for both the SARON and SAMRA. I used the course to learn a lot of new topics related to ATPL theory as well as strengthen my knowledge on theory learned through my previous TC exams and ground school classes. The mock exams and unit tests are great practice to reinforce the content learned through the presentations and have it engrained in my head come exam time. Would highly recommend this course!
Ben M.
Better than 90%!
Passed both the SAMRA and SARON scoring > 90% on both using this course. The content and practice questions are exactly what you need to be successful on the TC exams. I am happy that I went with this course and not the more expensive alternatives. No need for expensive textbooks or course materials, this is a one-stop shop. I enjoyed that I could take the course at my own pace. I learned the material over the span of a month and Dean was always able to help with questions that arose. Highly recommend.

ATPL Exams - don't even think twice about it!
This is my second course through INRAT Exam Prep and it did not disappoint. With the help of both the SARON and SAMRA courses and practice exams, I was able to complete both exams in 1 month while working full time. This course is specifically designed for efficiency and will not help you pass, but receive an excellent mark as well. Highly recommend to every single pilot out there. Truly a life savior and so worth it.

Great Course with Great Results
Passed both my A's in the 90s with this ground school. Great review of the basics as well as to-the-point presentations to keep the studying efficient.

One Happy Pilot!
After using INRAT exam prep for my INRAT and IATRA exam prep for my IATRA I needed to use ATPL Exam Prep for my ATPL exams. Dean and Jason have been there with support whenever I needed it. Either with just a check in or answering many other questions. The content of the programs that they have put together is right on point with the exams. I have and will continue to recommend their products for anyone I talk to that is preparing for one of these exams.
Harshil J.
The best out there!
I am extremely pleased with the courses developed by Jason and Dean. I have been working with them since my INRAT all the way up to the ATPL exams. The courses are very well designed and detailed as necessary. Anyone looking to study for the exams, hands down one of the best courses you will come across.

I recommend it, guaranteed success !
I highly recommend the ATPL exam preparation course. The program provides comprehensive coverage of all the essential topics required for the exam. The content is presented in a clear and concise manner, with a strong focus on the key information necessary for success. The inclusion of numerous practice questions is particularly valuable for reinforcing understanding. At the end of the course, there are even mock exams with questions very similar to the TC exam. Additionally, Dean and Jason demonstrate exceptional professionalism and are always available to answer our questions as quickly as possible. Their dedication and expertise significantly enhance the learning experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found their service to be outstanding in every regard.

SARON/SAMRA Excellence
ATPL Exam Prep did an outstanding job preparing me for both of my exams. I cannot recommend Dean and Jason highly enough—they run an exceptional course and are always proactive in reaching out to answer questions or clarify challenging concepts. Their dedication and support truly make a difference! Thanks to their guidance, I felt confident and well-prepared going into my exams.

Fantastic as always
I use this company for the IATRA exam prep, which helped me achieve a very high score. I have also entrusted these guys with many of my INRAT/IFR students . Their product is very well-rounded and does a fantastic job preparing you for whatever test you have coming up. Most recently I used their ATPL exam prep and the thing that I like most about it was the fact that not only did it give you good preparatory questions. It also gave you the background knowledge needed. I find a major downfall in aviation training right now is a lot of people are rushing and trying to just check boxes as opposed to learning the material and becoming a professional. Yes, there’s fantastic question banks out there that will help you pass the test however, if you forget the knowledge within a week after writing the test, what is the point? Your shortcomings will be evident after getting to the airlines. ATPL exam prep keeps the lessons short and sweet as most of the material you’ve already learned in previous training. I can’t recommend these guys enough for any of their programs. You will not be disappointed.
