ONE to FIVE Day GROUND SCHOOL PROGRAMME

Sign up anytime for our popular exam preparation and completion courses - times and dates to suit you!. Covering CPL/ATPL and MultiPilot (MPL) 'foundation' subjects, plus all the UK NPPL(M), NPPL(A), PPL(TMG), JAR PPL(A), and IMC, including FAA (incl. Private Pilot - LaserGrade sign off), and CPL/PPL Seamanship exams, and Instructor Course (Ground).

With guided blended-learning, self-study, and face-to-face tuition, all the PPL exams can be taken and completed in just THREE days total attendance. Join our one, two or three day revision schools (Details) for up to SIX of the theoretical papers, and a one day 'brush-up' for the Communication and RT practical - available at times to suit a busy life schedule. Learn quickly and complete the exams consecutively, or at a more leisurely pace to suit you - check our Promotions for latest JAR/FAA PPL package offers. Not sure about the next step need a price list - Just ask! .

All face-to-face teaching and examinations take place at our modern professionally equipped teaching suite and test centre - near Cardiff in South Wales. Why put up with the usual shabby airfield based accommodation.

Full-time courses are also run on a regular basis throughout the year

What they say: " the seamanship course really was fantastic and covered exactly what was in the exam! thanks again and hope to see you soon " O.W, Bournemouth 2007.
"Passed all the PPL exams first time!. Excellent value and excellent teaching, just what I needed before taking my flying course in Florida", R.P. Leicester 2008.
"The course was completely flexible, with no pressure applied to complete any section aimed to uncomplicate the subjects", T.B Bristol 2009.

ABOUT THE PPL/NPPL & RT PRACTICAL EXAMS
The CAA PPL/NPPL Ground School Examinations are all in multiple-choice format, and are good for the theoretical element of all UK issued licences - NPPL (M), NPPL (A), JAR (PPL (A/G). They are relatively easy to pass if approached in the correct way, but one of the problems is that they must be completed within a set period of 18-24 months (after which they expire!). However if you run out of time, you simply take the next series again - unlike other schools we make no additional charge should this happen.
The PPL theory papers consist of:
* 1 Air Law and Operational Procedures Aeroplanes * 2 Meteorology
* 3 Flight Performance and Planning * 4 Human Performance and Limitations
* 5 Aircraft General and Principles of Flight *6 Navigation and Radio Navigation
* 7 Communications - PPL & RT * 8 Radio Telephony (practical).

For Microlight Pilots - Sign up for our BMAA approved course which excludes 'Flight Performance and Planning')

HOW WE DO IT
You will be provided with a comprehensive and paced distance-learning package for each subject, and an introductory or a personalised exam brush-up session for each paper. It is sensible to complete some recommended preparatory work and practice paper(s) before attending our exam revision session. You will then complete realistic mock paper(s) - not the usual 'Q&A simplifier' material, which are fully marked with detailed advice and comments. At this stage you will be ready to take the actual exam(s).

As teachers and educators, with over 25 years experience, we know what we are doing - come to us and pass first time. No gaps - no short cuts, don't waste time and flying cash on other approaches - we apply the 'Pareto 80/20 principle' - . Don't know what that is - then come and find out!.

One subject at a time taken, or complete everything in just THREE DAYS.

A sample programme is shown below, or - for More Details

DAY ONE and TWO (Theory Exams)

Courses are based around our CAA recommended Private Pilot's License Lecture Series. Prior to attending you will be given a set of individual workbooks and/or reference texts, and our tailored Key Facts & Revision Notes, together with a carefully graded selection of practice exam papers. lThen - when ready, just book one of our intensive revision and completion days. It's hard work, but you will complete all six papers (or one examination paper at a time) over a two day period. You do not need to buy any expensive multimedia packages for these courses! - everything you need is provided, included recommended reference texts where appropriate.

DAY THREE: (Radio Practical Test)

For the Radio Licence practical course and examination (helicopter and aeroplanes) we use modern (CAA approved) PC network-based RT simulators. Again, it is better to have done some pre-reading, and completed a number of our practice written papers - all based on CAP413. If you haven't already completed the Communications exam paper this will need to be taken first.

NOTE: Because of the time needed to conduct the RT practical, the final CAA Radio Telephony test must be booked for a separate day. If your knowledge of Radio Telephony is limited you may need to do our full two day course - see R/T Details here.

Let us know if you intend doing your PPL flying training in the USA or Canada. We can tailor our revision programme so that you are up to pass standard for all the FAA or Transport Canada written tests. These are computer based, and you can practice the actual computer tests with us before starting any flying training (further details on request)
