edhelms, how you can do about 650 hours of learning in shorter period than 5,5 months? Due to this legal restriction, ATPL course cannot be shorter. (I cannot tell you why it isn't 5 or 6 months but 5.5 for Bartolini)
Do you know any school where you can enter now and start ATPL exams in much shorter time? How they declare these 650 hours for an authority?
RedDragonFlyer, I did my exams thanks to aviation exams app on iPad but my integral knowledge is acquired from Bristol (and some old Oxford books). It was enough for me
No, there are someone resitting exams but it is not Bartolini's fault (or another school), in my opinion.
