* This course is only available in Hong Kong. With flight training opportunities relatively limited in Hong Kong, one of the best ways to start an aviation career is to take a theory course before starting technical flight training overseas.  Aviation English Asia offer the English for PPL Ground School course to help Hong Kong people learn technical vocabulary needed to get the most of the theory course.  Who is this course suitable for?

 This course is particularly suitable for pilots who have taken a PPL course conducted in a language other than English and need to gain English proficiency before progressing to other licenses.

The course is also suitable for learners who want to improve their English before starting a PPL course.  You will also learn technical vocabulary and aviation theory so that you will learn faster on the PPL theory course.  If you are thinking about taking a PPL theory course and are not sure if you can understand the English vocabulary in the text books, English for PPL Ground School is the best possible preparation.
