Waterford Aero Club PPL Ground School
Waterford Aero Club are opening their PPL / LAPL ground school classes to students training with other clubs and to licence holders seeking to convert their ICAO / FAA / CAA license to EASA (don’t forget that June 22nd deadline is fast approaching!)
The online ground school is designed to be completely modular with students able to choose the subject(s) they wish to take for each IAA exam sitting. All nine subjects are offered four times per year so students can progress at their own pace and in line with their flight training.

- On-line classes
- Pooleys manual for the chosen subject (in e-book format or hard copy for €10 supplement)
- Practice questions
- Email access to an instructor if you require any additional support / assistance
- Revision notes
- Mock exam
- IAA exam recommendation
For those not already members of WAC, associate membership is available at €50 to facilitate enrolment on the course.
