Distance Learning ATPL - Pre-requisits

[mcken]

Hi all

I'm moving to work abroad for a couple of years, with the intent of starting flying training upon my return to the UK (or in the States on my way back).

I'd like to make the most of my time away with regards to kick-starting a flying career and would like to ask what the pre-requists are (if any) for completing a distance learning ATPL course e.g. must hold PPL etc.

Thanks in advance
