I don't know what licence you're after, but for CPL and ATPL, the theoritical knowledge must be obtained through an FTO.
Here is a link to
JAR-FCL1
and here are the extracts that concern CPL(a) and ATPL(A) theoritical knowledge.
JAR–FCL 1.160 Theoretical knowledge
(See Appendix 1 to JAR–FCL 1.160 & 1.165(a)(1) through (4))
(a) Course. An applicant for a CPL(A) shall have received theoretical knowledge instruction on an approved course at an approved flying training organisation (FTO) .
The course should be combined with a flying training course as set out in JAR–FCL 1.165.
JAR–FCL 1.285 Theoretical knowledge
(See AMC FCL 1.285)
(a) Course. An applicant for an ATPL(A) shall
have received theoretical knowledge instruction on
an approved course at an approved flying training
organisation (FTO)
[ ]. An applicant who has not
received the theoretical knowledge instruction
during an integrated course of training shall take the
course set out in Appendix 1 to JAR–FCL 1.285.
