The answer is, it depends.

If you can tell me what type of license you have, and your flight experience, I can give you the correct answers and point you in the correct decision.

However, for example…

You have a Private in the Canada or the USA, and want a Frozen ATPL under JAR…

700 hours of ground school, 14 exams, multi-crew course, type-rating and skills test

Or, if you hold an ATPL from another country - with more than 3000 hours PIC in an aircraft with a take-off weight greater than 50,000 kgs - then you are exempt from everything except 2 exams.

Experience between these two, have various different requirements.

Tell me your license type, and your experience and I will tell you what you’ll need, who you can get it from, and how long it will take.

Cheers
