Pass the FAA General with confidence — not just luck.
Structured lessons + FAA-format drills + an AI tutor that answers you 24/7. The rapid drilling you'd get from Sheppard, plus the real teaching Sheppard skips. Try Module 1 free before you commit.
Passing the test is one thing. Actually knowing it is another.
Every A&P prep course lands somewhere on this spectrum. Most force you to pick a side. We refused.
Question-bank drills get you through the FAA.
Sheppard, Prepware, ASA — cram the FAA's question bank until you can spot the right letter. Proven to work for test day. That's real value.
But the test is one hour. What about the rest?
The oral exam. The DME asking "explain that." The practical. Your first job asking you to reason through something new. A memorized letter can't answer any of that.
ASM does both. Rapid question-bank drilling for test day fluency, plus real teaching so you're ready for the oral, the practical, and the shop. One course. No trade-off.
Learn it. Drill it. Prove you know it.
Every module follows the same rhythm. Understanding first, then rapid practice, then a checkpoint that confirms you're ready.
Learn
Structured lessons in plain English with worked examples. Grounded in FAA handbooks and references so what you learn is actually correct.
Drill
Test-format practice questions built to mirror how the FAA words its bank. Rapid-fire fluency for test day — the same thing Sheppard does, integrated right into the course.
Prove
Module quizzes confirm you're ready to move on. A cumulative readiness assessment at the end confirms you're ready to sit for the FAA.

Prep courses — not a substitute for FAA Part 147 or 14 CFR §65. The FAA determines eligibility and certification.

Common questions.
Do I have to take the writtens in a specific order?
Yes. The FAA requires you to pass the General before you can take the Airframe or Powerplant written exams. If you're planning to do all three, this is your Step 1.
How is this different from Sheppard Air or Prepware?
Question-bank apps like Sheppard show you the FAA's questions and answers — you memorize them and pass. That's real, and we include the same rapid drilling right in the course. What Sheppard doesn't give you: teaching that carries into the oral exam, the DME, and your first job. ASM gives you both. Drill for the test. Learn for the career.
Is this instead of the FAA Part 147 school?
No. This is written test prep — it prepares you to pass the FAA General knowledge test. To be eligible to sit for the test in the first place, you need documented experience (civilian or military) or a Part 147 approval. Not sure? Start here.
What if I don't pass on the first try?
You get a 7-day money-back guarantee at purchase. Beyond that: lifetime access means you can keep studying, retake drilling questions as many times as you want, and use the AI tutor to work through weak spots. The FAA charges $175 for a retake attempt — that's their fee, not ours.
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. One-time or payment plan — either way, access is yours forever. Not a subscription, nothing to cancel.
Can I get all three courses instead?
Yes — the Complete A&P Written Prep Bundle is $599 for all three (General + Airframe + Powerplant). You save $298 vs buying them separately. Most candidates need all three, so if that's you, the bundle is the move.
Do you offer an in-person option?
Yes. Our In-Person Program in San Antonio adds a dedicated study room + facilitator + hands-on Oral & Practical prep in our shop. Different price, different value.
Pass the General. Move to Airframe. Then Powerplant.
Instant access. Study on your schedule. 7-day money-back guarantee — if it's not the right fit, get a full refund, no hoops.
