Course structure and build-up
Course structure and build-up
All theory courses consist of a 'distance learning' phase (home study at your own pace) and a short session of half a day per subject (morning or afternoon) based on question and answer as a check on ready basic knowledge. These half-days are planned in 5 consecutive working days such as: here. or at the bottom of this page. This training, also known as 'revision & brushup', has been made mandatory by the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT). After completion of each module, the exams follow. These are administered monthly in our own 'in-house' exam center.
Nowadays, the Revision & Brushup Course can be provided via our 'virtual classroom' environment through live webinars, where you can participate from your own home and no longer have to come to Arnhem.
After passing your first exams of module 1, you continue with module 2 through self-study. You then participate in the last classroom exam training in Arnhem and take the remaining exams.
Self study
The big advantage of our 'distance learning' ATPL(A) training is that you can organize your pace and study time yourself. The home study work program is structured schematically in weeks and daily tasks, whereby with approximately fifteen study hours per week, a turnaround time of about six months is easily feasible for both modules, excluding exams.
An average student completes the ATPL(A) theory course in approximately four to six months. Module 1 takes about fourteen weeks, module 2 about ten weeks. Of course you can determine your study load. The lead time depends on your own time effort.
In the self-study, you are guided through all courses and subjects via a simple work program per module. Study progress is checked by means of compulsory 'progress' tests. The 'progress' tests are administered in a varying number of chapters and can be made at home on the computer. Then you can send the test online to Orbit Groundschool for checking with one push of a button.
