Hi Kevin,
You will need to contact an ATC close to you and ask them about the ekits.
There have been changes recently.
I appreciate where you are coming from but it has to be said that the courseware is primarily designed for ATC course/training delivery, where a certified instructor and labs are all part of the deal (along with the lifetime book access)
With the self study option (ekit purchase solo) there is no lab supplied and no support of any kind.
With the ATC sold and delivered courses there is an opportunity to build a relationship with your ATC and possibly the instructor/s.
I personally encourage students to contact me after courses with any questions and I am happy to help out. It's also great to hear about success with exams. 🙌
Again, I appreciate your position and your previous experience with this.
FYI
The new R82 CCTA has just been released.
R82 CCTE is next on the list for release but still under development.
Lots of great new content.
