Part-time ATPL course
About the course
|
Our part-time ATPL theory course is based on 3 modules of distance learning and classroom instruction totalling 661 hours of study. Training can be completed in 6 months but averages approximately 9 months.
Our course involves an online self-study programme which is managed and overseen by our training team through our online learning management system. Throughout your training, you will be using iBooks/iPad technology created by our partner, PadPilot. After each module, you will attend a number of ATPL refresher training days in Dublin prior to your ATPL examinations. A total of ten (10) refresher training days are scheduled throughout your course. |

Conduct of your part-time ATPL theory course
At ASG, our module revision days are timed in line with the published Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) ATPL exam sittings which take place every two months. For example, we have revision dates for all modules in early April in advance of the IAA's April examination dates, in early June in time for the June exam sittings and so on. You can plan the dates for your modules in advance and if the plan changes (depending on your progress) you can easily switch on to a later revision period. All of our training is conducted at Kestrel House in the Dublin Airport Logistics Park right next to Dublin Airport. Daily timings are 12-8pm daily to allow for people travelling to/from the revision sessions.
In terms of daily timetable, we ask you for feedback on which areas that you are having difficulties with and our instructors tailor the day to the student's needs. If we receive no feedback, the instructor completes an overview of the main subject/theories, focussed subject revision and ATPL question practice.
If you are studying for your ATPL's at another ATO and would like to attend one of our revision modules, please contact us to see if we can accommodate you. Our own students take priority and availability is based entirely on us maintaining our optimum student/instructor ratio.

Why choose ASG?
Since our foundation in 2015, ASG’s approach to ATPL training has been characterised by providing students with a bespoke, high quality, and personalised training experience. Our training philosophy is to provide premium quality instruction which will benefit prospective airline pilots throughout their career in aviation, from job interview to operations as an Airline Pilot, and not simply to pass the theoretical knowledge examinations - although we know that's important too.
Through our high quality instruction, aside from being more likely to excel at your exams, you are likely to retain this important information, be more prepared to land your first airline job, and operate more effectively throughout your career as an Airline Pilot. Don't just "tick the box". The choice as to where you complete your theoretical knowledge training is an important one, and the determining factor should be quality.
We believe in limiting class sizes to ensure the optimum learning environment, providing support to students throughout their ATPL training journey, and delivering the highest standard of theoretical knowledge instruction which is focussed on helping you through your ATPL examinations.
However, what really differentiates us from most other ATO’s is our instructional team - our ATPL instructors are truly passionate about what they do - each one is chosen for their subject matter expertise and practical industry experience which adds real value to the student experience by bringing the subject to life. While many ATO's use their day-to-day flight instructors for ATPL instruction, by using subject matter experts (directly from industry) we can focus on providing the highest quality of training. They are operational in the aviation industry and include: current airline pilots, type rating instructors, aircraft and avionics technicians, human factors specialists, military pilot instructors, aeronautical engineers, and air traffic controllers.
