Why Aerogenesis

Not coaching classes. A mentorship model.

Ground classes are not a box to tick before flying training — they are the foundation your entire CPL timeline is built on. Weak ground school means repeat DGCA exam attempts, and every repeat attempt costs months. This page covers exactly what our DGCA ground classes in Bangalore include, who teaches them, and how to join the ground package or individual subjects independently.

Our classes are led by Gp Capt Saideep Lall (Retd.), an IAF experimental test pilot with 4,000+ hours across 13 aircraft types, and Capt Vidhi Sharma, an active Airbus A320 captain with 10,000+ hours. Every subject is taught with the operational context of a pilot who has actually used it — not just the syllabus.

Not Sequential

Ground-only students can enrol without booking flying training. For students who separately choose our full CPL pathway, we can coordinate medical, eGCA and overseas-training preparations alongside ground school.

Hands-on

Flight simulator follow-up

Very few ground schools in Bangalore put a flight simulator in front of cadets during ground training. We don't just make cadets exam-ready. We make them aviation-ready.

Proprietary Training Technology. Ground school here comes with a digital stack we built ourselves: a proprietary CPL question bank of 8,798 DGCA-style questions with worked solutions across 202 chapters and the question bank’s subject areas, an advanced RTR(A) push-to-talk practice simulator — 281 voice drills and 60 timed Part B mock exams, and a structured Moodle LMS carrying chapter-wise textbooks, revision notes, video lessons and weekly progress tests. Classes are then followed up on our flight simulator at the Bengaluru facility. See the full stack on our training technology overview.

Eligibility, fees and where ground classes fit

The full pathway

Where Ground Classes Fit

Ground classes can be taken on their own. For students who also choose flying training, they are Stage 1 of our Integrated Pilot Mentorship Program — roughly 4 months in Bengaluru, followed by flying training abroad and DGCA licence conversion on return. If you're evaluating ground classes in isolation, see our guide on choosing the right CPL ground classes in India for the seven criteria that actually matter. Cadets on the flagship pathway can also pursue a UGC-recognised B.Sc in Hospitality & Aviation Management from Lingaya's Vidyapeeth in parallel with CPL training — a full university degree alongside the licence.
