ATPLH Theoretical Knowledge - Classroom

Full Time Classroom Course at Cabair Modular in Bournemouth (European Pilot Training Academy)

The course is completed over nineteen weeks (650 hours of tuition) and covers the full JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge syllabus. There are regular start dates throughout the year with class size restricted to a maximum of 25 students. The Instructors are experienced in teaching both the Integrated and Modular programmes and regularly achieve first time pass rates for this particular course which exceed 80%. CCAT has produced a full set of training manuals and documentation to support the lectures which are all included within the course fee. The course is divided into Part 1, which is of 12 weeks duration (6 subjects) and Part 2, seven weeks duration (8 subjects), for which the individual subjects are detailed below. The appropriate JAA examinations are scheduled to follow each Part and are conducted at local examination centres. In order to progress to the Flying Skill Tests it is a mandatory requirement that all fourteen papers have been passed (pass mark 75% for each examination). Candidates are allowed four attempts at each individual paper, over six separate sittings.

Students for Helicopter Licences are currently trained to an interim syllabus fully agreed and endorsed by the CAA. Separate tuition is given in the specialist area of Principles of Flight, and students are not required to attempt a Performance examination. All other subjects are taught to the same syllabus as for Aeroplane students. This arrangement will be replaced by a new syllabus as soon as all Learning Objectives have been finalised.

ATPLH Theoretical Knowledge - Distance Learning

This JAA Approved course has been specially produced by CCAT Instructors based on their experience of the JAA ATPL theory syllabus. The fourteen examination subjects have been separated into 4 dedicated phases, each designed to be completed in 13 weeks of study to prepare the student for the JAA examinations. Providing that continuity is maintained over the 4 phases, the course is designed to be completed in 52 weeks. Each of the phases will deal with either 3 or 4 different subjects over 135 hours of study time. Start packs will include the training manuals appropriate to the subjects to be studied, a number of self-assessment tests and up to 4 Progress Tests.

A phase schedule will be provided to ensure that the correct progress is made through the course and that the Progress Tests are completed and returned for tutor assessment in good time. A dedicated telephone/fax line and email address are available to all course subscribers. The distance element of each phase is scheduled to be completed in 10 weeks. This is immediately followed by a 1 week residential (mandatory attendance) session with a further week for final revision at home. The JAA examinations will be sat during the 13th week of each phase. On completion of the examinations the next phase will be available to start.
