Used David and his services for… ATPL Unfreeze.

Used David and his services for unfreezing my ATPL License and he was incredibly professional, punctual, accommodating and shared his wealth of knowledge and experience with us in the process. It's important to find people that know what they're doing and have your best intentions - especially post-BREXIT and we were guided through it all seamlessly. The simulator session was as enjoyable a check can be, but professional in the same manner, where we all learned from it in the process which is the aim of the game.

Absolutely brilliant! 10/10

Absolutely brilliant. David helped me unfreeze my ATPL with very short notice. It got booked in and a SIM partner found within days. Very relaxed atmosphere with positive training feedback. Highly recommended to any fellow aviators.

LPC with SIM GUIDE.

LPC with SIM GUIDE.
Extremely professional environment, realistic scenario and also getting a useful training, not just a check.
I would love to recommend The Sim Guide to all pilots for enhancing their professional skills.

10/10 for David and The Sim Guide!

Always a fantastic learning experience. I can’t recommend David and The Sim Guide highly enough. David is extremely knowledgeable, highly accommodating and makes every sim session a thoroughly enjoyable occasion. If you are looking for a licence revalidation/renewal, TRI/TRE course or AoC then you won’t be disappointed choosing David.

The Sim Guide TRI course.

I would like to share my recent experience with The Sim Guide. I was fortunate to have David as my instructor.
In summary, David was excellent from start to finish.
He provided the training in a relaxed and professional environment, delivering concise yet informative content. His natural delivery style and extensive experience and knowledge was evident from the beginning. David came highly recommended to me and I was not disappointed.
Additionally, I achieved my EASA license at the beginning of the process, and David was instrumental in helping me by conducting an LST and guiding me through the appropriate documentation.

TRI refresh - Beyond Compliance

Highly experienced instructor and facilitator sharing the latest within the industry, including CBTA and other developments.

Participants are invited to comment and share, hence, enabling us to make use of the content in the next training session.

This is 'beyond compliance', - operational and practically oriented.

Highly recommended
