Questions
Before you decide
Is this official airline or school material?
No. SET STANDARD guides are independent publications written from public information and professional instructor experience. They are not issued, endorsed or reviewed by any airline or training organisation, are not part of any course, and contain no confidential assessment material.
Will a guide make me pass?
No guide can promise that. Each one explains the process and gives you structured material to prepare; the result depends on your own preparation and on the day.
Which guide should I start with?
Start with the airline you are actually applying to. If you have not decided yet, the free checklist covers the preparation every first assessment has in common.
Can I see it before buying?
Yes. Every guide shows its contents and five real sample pages on this page, under "Look inside".
