'A' level 600hrs over two years. Same time PPL studies say 40 hrs.
I did HNC in Mech. and production engineering, day release spread over five years. I did my ATPL studies over two months at home and took the exams. Then one month for the 12 odd tech subjects back in 1988.
Both courses had taken about 450 hours study each. I think nowhere near what would be required for a degree say 4000 hrs of study.
Still plenty of time to study, one of my club customers passed away aged 96 recently. At age 50 he had to do a degree to maintain his pay grade as a psychiatric nurse.
Had been in that job since he left the RAF as pilot in 1946.
Funny as i typed this adverts for Staffordshire uni on the right appear. Never knew they had a Uni. Very educational this internet stuff.
