Start the quiz →Common questions.
Which course do I need?
Depends on where you are. Not yet cleared to test? Start with Track 1 · Eligibility. Already eligible and prepping for the writtens? Go to Track 2 · Written Prep. Want a classroom? Track 3 · In-Person. Or take the free quiz and we'll tell you.
Can I take the writtens in any order?
No. The FAA requires you to pass General before you can sit for Airframe or Powerplant. Bundle takes this into account — General is Module 1.
What's the bundle discount?
The Written Prep Bundle is $599 for all three writtens. Buying them separately is $897 — so you save $298. Best deal if you need all three (most A&P candidates do).
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Individual written-prep courses have 3-pay ($109.99 × 3) and 6-pay ($59.99 × 6) plans. The bundle has a 6-pay plan too ($119.99 × 6). Payments auto-stop when complete — no subscription.
Can I switch from online to in-person later?
Yes. Progress and payments carry over. Talk to us on the contact page and we'll credit what you've already paid toward the in-person program.
What's your refund policy?
7-day money-back guarantee on every course. If it's not the right fit, full refund — no hoops, no forms, no "prove you tried."
