The European Pilot Training Academy at Bournemouth has an excellent reputation for full-time ATPL ground school. If you attend EPTA you can be assured of gaining a good pass in your JAR examinations.

The 14 subjects are completed over 27 weeks (650 hours of tuition) and are
split into 3 phases as shown.

Each phase lasts 7/8 weeks and is followed by JAR-FCL examinations at a CAA test centre of your choice. Included in the price is ‘Week 0’ - a 1 week induction course covering maths, physics, radio theory and anything else that might help you through the trauma of the next few weeks! A gentle way of getting back into the swing of
full-time studying. We have two phases running with class sizes restricted to a maximum of 24 students. The Instructors are highly experienced and will go out of their way to help you achieve excellent first time pass rates. More...
