  1. Hello,

    you mentioned that there are review courses available. Could you please advise which school offer this?

    I’ve been trying to find reviewer courses- but it seems most of the schools do not offer them.

    Thanks.

    • Hi, Hector!

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      We’re really sorry, but as much as we’d like to provide you with more information, we’re still working on the “review courses” section. So far, we haven’t come across any review courses for the Aeronautical Engineer board exam. 🙁

      We will be quick to update the entry as soon as we have found relevant information, though.
