The Aviation Guy

I’ve got teenage kids who want to become airline pilots who are currently in school.
‘The Aviation Guy’ has come up as a way of preparing them for the ATPL exams through online courses alongside school studies. £980 upfront cost. I remember the exams from 20 years ago and anything to give a head start has to be good.
Has anyone got any experience in this?

Yes, don’t helicopter parent your kids.
They want to become pilots they need to put in the work.

They’re already getting all the prep from their maths, physics and English classes.

Sounds like snake oil. Save your money.
