ATPL theory classroom exemption

Hello folks,

Has anyone successfully manage to get an exemption from attending the mandatory classroom time associated with ATPL groundschool?

I have a an Aussie CPL and I have had residential classes for my theory exams. The prospect of travelling to the other end of the country to hear all about pendulous vanes for the upteenth time doesn't really feel me with joy! I understand that the CAA want to ensure there is some quality control on theory training, but this seems like a box ticking exercise that benefits no one. I've made initial enquiries at the groundschool I've sign up with, but I get the feeling that I will come up against the traditional British "no-can-do" attitude and I would like to find out if there is a precident it can use.
