1. What “licence in 30 days” means

In 30 days you can realistically pass A1/A3 and start A2 prep — not always finish both official exams. Budget 20–30 minutes daily.

2. Days 1–7: A1/A3 foundation

All nine NAA topics in learning mode. Target ≥70% per topic before quick tests.

3. Days 8–14: A1/A3 mocks

Three full 40-question timed simulations. Book the NAA exam at ≥80%.

4. Days 15–21: pass A1/A3, start A2

After A1/A3, begin A2 meteorology and ground risk immediately.

5. Days 22–30: A2 intensive

Topic tests plus two full 30/30 mocks. Plan NAA A2 booking when stable ≥80%.

6. Budget

NAA fees vary by state — see /pricing for A2STS prep.
