ASG

ASG was proud to deliver another specialised Search & Rescue (SAR) refresher training programme to Irish Coast Guard personnel last week in Galway, Ireland.

From 19th–22nd May, nine operational Watch Officers participated in an intensive off-site recurrent training programme focused on operational decision-making, emergency response coordination, human factors, CRM, meteorology, fatigue risk management, and SAR operational procedures.

The Irish Coast Guard performs an essential frontline role in protecting lives around Ireland’s coastline, and we are proud to continue supporting this critical national capability through high-quality, operationally focused training.

A huge thank you to all participants for their professionalism, engagement, and commitment throughout the programme.

Known for his hard work, positive attitude, and strong motivation throughout his training, he approached the ATPL journey with focus and determination from start to finish.

His progression to the flight deck is a great example of how commitment, mindset, and consistency play a key role in building a successful career in commercial aviation.

We are delighted to announce that Georgina Keogh has joined ASG as our Head of Commercial Growth & Operations.

Throughout her career, Georgina has worked extensively across aviation operations, airline support, customer engagement, commercial relationship management and business growth, developing a strong reputation for professionalism, responsiveness and customer focus.

At ASG, Georgina will play a central role in supporting the next phase of our growth, with a focus on student recruitment, customer engagement, CRM and marketing, social media strategy, operational coordination and overall commercial development.

Our company has grown significantly over the past decade across training, airline and corporate partnerships, government and defence aviation projects, and international training services. With strong systems, a scalable product and an exceptional team, Georgina’s appointment represents an exciting next step in continuing to grow the business.

We look forward to the positive impact she will bring - a warm welcome to the ASG team, Georgina! ✈️

ATPL theory… but make it fun ✈️

It’s not all charts, calculations, and serious faces — there’s always room for a few laughs along the way. Great to see our students enjoying the journey as much as the destination!

ASG inspire series - Mikko ✈️

Mikko previously flew the F/A-18 Super Hornet with the Finnish Air Force and now instructs test pilots on the L-39 at the International Test Pilot School in Canada.

With an exceptional operational background, Mikko chose ASG to complete his ATPL theory training — recognising the importance of strong theoretical foundations, flexibility, and a fully digital learning environment.

A powerful reminder that at every level of aviation, precision, knowledge, and the right training environment matter.

ATPL exams are a milestone — and you’ve earned your place at the desk.
Trust the work you’ve done, manage your time, and focus on what you know.

Wishing all ASG students sitting IAA ATPL exams next week a calm and successful sitting.
