ATPL Theoretical Knowledge - Distance Learning

UKCAA or EASA Theoretical Knowledge Distance Learning Course With L3Harris

Our unique training philosophy aims not only to achieve excellent exam results, but more importantly, to produce professional pilots whose knowledge stays within them throughout their careers. The ATPL Theoretical Knowledge - Distance Learning approach comprises distance learning and classroom sessions split into three modules. Our ATPL theory course enables you to focus on one third of the subjects at a time, while building and applying your knowledge.

Each module is mapped out in a study guide and consists of reading assignments, course tests and ground school days. After successfully completing a module you will take the corresponding UKCAA or EASA ATPL theory exams.

In-person training days take place from our state-of-the-art London Training Centre.
