Testimonials
Here are a few testimonials from those who have trained with the Head of Training…
Studying for ATPL’s was a very challenging and demanding task, but Gulf Coast Training Solutions made the whole experience manageable and very student friendly.
From the very start I received a great support from HOT Steve Gibbins and all the teachers. Course on-line class and question bank were very sufficient, easy to access and navigate through. Every email and query got an immediate response and the explanations to the questions regarding syllabus were very professional and easy to understand.
The whole program is very well constructed and makes it easy to study and brush up course at the end of each module is a very good preparation for the exams. Thanks to Gulf Coast Training Solutions I was able to complete my ATPLs in 5 months, with an average first time pass of 96.5% !!!

I have had the pleasure to have been under Steve’s guidance throughout all 14 written JAA ATPL exams. Steve’s vast knowledge combined with his professionalism will make sure you go into the exam 100% prepared.
With a huge amount of work required to pass all 14 exams it’s vital that you have the support and guidance to see you through to the end. Steve’s has the ability to break down the subjects and easily explain even the most difficult of topics is an easy to understand manner.
I passed all 14 written exams first time with an average mark of 94%. I can’t speak highly enough of Steve and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

I had over 10 years of FAA Part 121 flight experience, most of it as a captain, when I decided to add the JAR license to my credentials. I had acquired the Canadian ATPL only a year earlier, but the European license was a real eye-opener. Had it not been for Steve’s profound knowledge of the subject matters I might not have passed at all—certainly not with the high marks I got. Steve has an uncanny ability to explain the most complex topics in a concise and meaningful manner.

I had been a professional flight instructor for a Part 141 flight school for almost 2 years, before deciding to add a JAR ATPL license to my resume. The preparation for the 14 exams was not an easy task, but I know that the extensive knowledge I gained will serve me very well in the future. However, had it not been for Steve and his in depth familiarity with the subjects, I doubt that I would have passed all 14 exams on the first attempt. I ended up with a 95% average overall, and I attribute most of that to Steve’s ability to explain even the most complex of topics in an easy to understand manner.

ATPL theory was a very big challenge for myself and even though I didn’t train with GCTS, I did study under the head of training who was excellent! Steve’s in depth knowledge of the subjects shows as he has knack of making the most complex of subjects very simple and straight forward to understand. Not only did i find the ATPL theory fun, i also passed all 14 exams! A big thank you to Steve for all his help and advice through out the course.

Studying for the ATPL exams was one of the most challenging tasks I have had to accomplish in my pilot career. The exams require in depth knowledge of the subjects to get successful results.
Gulf Coast Training Solution’s program is very well built and guides you through your studies. Head of Training, Steve, was very helpful and was always ready to answer any questions I may have with the material. I also found the question banks very helpful and adequate. I never faced a surprise question in the real exams.
I was under a time constraint when I started my studies and Steve was able to accommodate me, and work with me in scheduling the modules that would best fit my schedule. I was able to pass my ATPLs in 3 months, all first time passes, with an average of 93%. I am very happy with my results and could not have done it without the help of Gulf Coast Training Solutions.
