How would coming into one with a ppl effect me? (I assume you are a lecturer or ex student hence why I am asking)
PILOTPIECES
I run the course at EPTA.
Students who already have a PPL can join the course. But they must still do all of the PPL ground training, including the research/presentation tasks and the written exams.
For pilots who have already completed their ATPLs we are looking at a distance learning option which will give them some credit for their existing qualifications. But this credit is unlikely to account for more than a small part of the overall points allocation. This is because the whole point of doing a degree is to develop key skills. Awarding a degree largely or entirely on the basis of previous non-degree study would probably be very popular, but it would achieve nothing in terms of enhancing the ability of the student.
