Hi

Can anyone recommend a place in the UK to study (provide course material) and then sit the FAA ATP written please?


Thanks

I believe that Flight Safety at Farnborough can provide this. There may be others of course.

There are only two locations left in Europe (the others have been closed by the FAA) where you can take FAA written tests, Paris (Le Bourget Airport) and London (Farnborough Airport) the tests are given by Flight Safety International, testing fee is around 200 Euros.

From my experience they don't provide any study or course material, though. The FAA doesn't require any ground instruction/class nor an instructor's endorsement to take the ATP written, you can actually study all by yourself. There are several commercial vendors providing excellent self study material, like the ASA or Gleim Testprep.
