The minimum requirements for both theoretical knowledge and flight exercises are laid out in AMC FCL 1.261(d) and the content of each course is approved by the CAA.
Cheers for that, couldn't find anything before I went on the course. However reading through that list, we hardly covered any of it, although I have just dug out the books we were given, and most of the stuff is actually in there but we never actually covered it in the course which is why I said I was disappointed with that part.
Must have been interesting doing 25 hours of theoretical knowledge instruction in 2 days!
Must have been 3 then - it was a while ago, but what we actually did that wasn't listening to the instructors "war stories" could have probably been done in 1.
