You shall be very lucky to find an ATPL(H) full-time course, there are several providers of ATPL(A) full-time though. These courses however they are structured end up taking about 6-7 months.

There is no such thing as a guaranteed pass, any such claims should be viewed as best as mis-leading advertising or twisting of results!

The one week course you mention would apply only to a distance learning course. Once you have completed all your course material and assesments it is a JAA requirement you attend some form of full-time tuition at your course provider.

This week or two is ofter refered to as a "brush-up" course where the key essentials of the exam are should be focused upon. This should put you in a strong position to probably (NOT GUARANTEED) pass the exams.

But as VFR Transit says is this for PPL or ATPL?

I have had a number of ATPL students who have done a week PPL course, then later come on to ATPL, unfortunately their lack of basic knowledge is alarming.
