Approximatley 175 applications were made before the UCAS deadline and a number of other candidates have requested information since then. Because of the CAA restrictions on class sizes, we are aiming to take a total of 48 students this year.
Most standard university courses can take classes of almost any size (even in the hundreds), but the limit is 24 per class for JAR ATPL courses. At the time of application, the majority of the applicants have not yet taken their A Levels, so they do not have the required qualifications to join the course. This means that some of those who are offered conditional places do not ultimately take them up.
Although the UCAS deadline has passed, it is still possible to apply through the Clearing System. But before doing so you should make sure that you really want to do the course. To make this decision you should contact us at EPTA (01202 581122 or by e-mail at
[email protected]) and arrange a visit. You can then meet the staff and students and see what the course is really about.
Finally the statement
Yes, you have the right idea, however you do realise that from the day you start the Kingston course, you have effectively started the clock. Start Kingston Sep 09 and you will have completed the atpl exams by July 11, which then means you then have to get the cpl/ir done in 36 months.
Is not quite true.
Students joining in September 2009 will take their first ATPL exams in August 2010. Their 18 months deadline starts from then. They will take their final JAR ATPL exams in May 2011. Their 36 months to get the IR starts from then
So students on this course have until May 2014 to get their IR.
