How it works

What a week actually looks like

No motivational fluff. A repeatable loop that moves you one subject closer every week.

01

Watch the lesson

Short, structured video modules. No three-hour lectures, no reading a textbook out loud.

02

Take the notes

Every module ships with Quick Reference Notes — the summarised version you actually revise from.

03

Test yourself

Practice quizzes after every lesson, marked instantly with the reasoning behind each answer — retake them as often as you need.

04

Fix the weak spot

Your dashboard shows exactly which topics are costing you marks, and the 24/7 community group is there whenever you get stuck.

Why it works

Built for the exam room, not the bookshelf

Built around the SACAA paper

The syllabus is sequenced the way the exams are set, not the way textbooks are printed.

Marking that explains itself

Every quiz and mock exam returns the correct answer and the reasoning, so a wrong answer teaches you something.

Progress you can see

A live dashboard per subject: what you've watched, what you've passed, what still needs work.

A community that answers

Ask a question in the student community at any hour — instructors and fellow pilots answer, and every thread stays searchable.

Study anywhere

Phone on the apron, laptop at home. Your progress follows you between devices.

Certificates on completion

A Certificate of Competence per subject, issued from your verified student record.

Courses

Three courses. One method.

Whether you're writing your first PPL paper or clearing an instrument rating, the structure is the same.

PPL8 weeks

Private Pilot Licence

Your first set of SACAA written exams, taught in the order that actually makes them click.

Course details
CPL6 months

Commercial Pilot Licence

The step up in depth and volume, structured so you never lose a subject while carrying the others.

Course details
IR8 weeks

Instrument Rating

A focused rating course for pilots who need the instrument theory cleared without derailing the rest of their year.

Course details
The community

You're never stuck on your own

Ask a question at 23:00 the night before a paper and someone answers — a fellow student, or one of our instructors. Here's what that looks like inside the platform.

Meteorology

Why does a veering wind indicate warm air advection?

Thandi · 2h

I keep mixing up veering and backing in the mock exam questions. Is there a trick to remember which one means warm air advection in the southern hemisphere?

Students

In their words

I have written ATG today and passed, which means I have passed all of my 8 subjects first try. The material and the online videos about each subject were very helpful compared to what I had when I was doing my PPL. Signing up for this CPL course with ExamRevolution was 100% the right choice.

Hano Strydom

CPL — all 8 subjects, first attempt

Passed air law, my 2nd exam in 2 weeks while working full time (07:00–17:00). Listening to the videos to and from work, during lunch and after work is doing absolute wonders in my case. Thanks so much to the team for the extensive videos.

Rikus Benecke

Air Law — studying while working full time

You guys have a really good system that helped me understand the content. Managed to finish all the studies and exams in less than 6 months while running my businesses, so I can attest to the system.

Graham Renfrew

Navigation — final exam cleared

POF passed. A reminder that failure isn't the end. I failed my first attempt, but I passed on my second. Your next attempt could be the one that changes everything, so don't be afraid to try again.

Eunice Carlos

Principles of Flight — rewrite passed

Was really stressing over nothing! Most questions were quite straight forward, thanks to Exam Revolution. Can't describe how good it feels to go into an exam and just be able to answer questions without a doubt.

Liam Hambidge

Principles of Flight — 92%

Thank you for everyone's input and notes, it helped a lot. It was the hardest exam out of them all for me. With all the exams behind me I can now focus on the next phase — the briefings and flight training.

Navigation — final PPL subject
