Virtual ATPL theory course
|
|
|
ASG was one of the first EASA ATO's to embrace the concept of a "virtual" classroom. We provide a completely online ATPL course without any "in-class" contact element.
Our "virtual" ATPL theory course is based on 3 modules of distance learning and classroom instruction totaling 720 hours of study. Training can be completed in 6 months but averages approximately 9 months. The course involves an online distance learning self-study programme which is managed and overseen by our training team through an online learning management system. Throughout your training, you will be using iBooks/iPad technology created by our training partner, PadPilot.
After you complete each module including the associated progress and final tests, you will attend a number of "virtual" ATPL refresher training days prior to sitting your ATPL examinations. A total of ten refresher training days are scheduled throughout your entire course (4 days, 3 days, and 3 days following modules 1, 2, and 3 respectively). These classes are delivered by the same fantastic instructional team who have delivered our industry-leading in-class lectures for years. Our instructors are direct from industry and can now deliver this training through our interactive, immersive, and innovative online learning platform.
Your virtual classes are conducted, together with your fellow students, using video conferencing technology in a virtual classroom. All you need is your iPad to join the class - it's the closest thing to being in an actual classroom but in the comfort of your own home.

How does the virtual classroom work?
|
|
For some, this might be your first time attending classes virtually. Don't worry, it's similar to actually being in a regular classroom! We try to make our virtual classroom as interactive and enjoyable as possible so please don't be reluctant to engage with your instructor and indeed with one another.
As always, just like with our traditional classroom, prior to your training days we will contact you to see if there are any specific subject areas that you would like the instructor to focus on so that they can tailor the revision days to meet your specific needs. Alternatively, if you do not have a preference, the instructor will pick a sample of important subjects for revision followed by some exam question practise to help prepare you for sitting your exams.
We use a simple and widely available application to deliver our classrooms and you can download this to either your iPad, your Windows laptop or Desktop, or your Apple Mac or in the "app" store. Whichever device you decide to use, you will need to have a functioning webcam together with a good broadband internet (4mbps download speed) to ensure minimal technological disruption in class. Your instructor will e-mail you the classroom link for you to login just prior to lesson commencement and you will enter the new world of virtual ATPL learning!

Since our foundation in 2015, our 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!
We limit class sizes to ensure the optimum learning environment, support students throughout their ATPL training journey, and deliver the highest standard of theoretical knowledge instruction. 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. You can read a recent article which sums up our approach to ATPL training.
Each one of our ATPL instructors are selected for their practical industry experience and expertise in their theoretical domains. 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. We hire directly from the aviation industry and our instructors include: current airline pilots, type rating instructors, aircraft and avionics technicians, human factors specialists, military pilot instructors, aeronautical engineers, and air traffic controllers. Meet our team and decide for yourself!
