Good enough to pass isn’t good enough to teach
You’re about to be the person a student asks “but why?”. Every question comes back with the reasoning and the reference, so you’re not just recognising the right answer — you can explain it.
- Worked reasoning on every answer, right and wrong
- References back to the regulation, so you can go to the source
- Every attempt saved, so you can target weak topics

Why PilotTrain
Built by pilots, checked by instructors
Five full-length exams
Four PMI and one PIRC, similar in style and length to the real thing, so the format holds no surprises on the day.
Detailed feedback on every question
Not just a score. The reasoning behind each answer, with references — which matters more here than anywhere, because you’ll be teaching it.
Quick quizzes
Short, targeted sets so you can drill one weak topic rather than re-sitting a whole paper.
Checked by instructors
Reviewed by instructors around the country and shaped by student feedback, with fast email support when something isn’t clear.
How it works
Sit, review, resit
Sit a full-length paper
Formatted like the real PMI or PIRC exam, so the length and style are familiar before the real one.
Read the reasoning
Work through the explanations on every question — including the ones you got right, since you’ll need to explain those too.
Resit until it sticks
Unlimited attempts, with questions drawn fresh each time so you’re learning the theory, not the order.
