Where can I do ATPL and IREX by correspondence?
Hey everyone,
Just wondering firstly if I should try and do my ATPLs and IREX by correspondence or teach myself using syllabus and a text book (similar to the teaching of some schools)?
I am planning on travelling around Australia trying to get a job next year. This means doing my ATPLs at one flying school will be impossible. So what are some good Flying Schools, TAFEs, Unis etc that can allow you to do ATPLs by correspondence and how do they work?
I will be able to complete IREX in Sydney, so what would be a good school to do this through or should I just do that by correspondence as well?
Thank you to all who help,
Flick

Two words mate.
NATHAN HIGGINS
He is from Advanced Flight Theory in Maroochydore.
He is no doubtably the best when it comes to ATPL's. Will send you out the course as you complete it for a bargin price. Back when I did it in 2000 cost $1800ish (I think), however you will have to study hard, depends to, how long you want to take to knock them off though. It took me 7 months to do all of them but it was almost full-time study even if working in a full-time job as I was. Ie, 5pm - 10pm most nights and a good 50% of the day on days off. But I highly recommend him.
Ph: (07) 5448 7770
As for IREX, got no idea.
Best of Luck

gday,
As for ATPL i agree with Stiff Under Carriage. Nathan is great!
As for IREX, i suggest buying the bob tait irex book and self study. Book is really easy to study and will get you through the exam.
Cheers.

You now know where to do your ATPLs.... with NATHAN HIGGINS at AFT and no where else.... full time OR correspondence.
Now that you know not to look anywhere else.... get cracking with it.... www.aft.com.au

I would recommend Avfacts. I did all my ATPL's with them and had no problems at all. I did a couple of subjects using there online service but now regret not actually having the training manuals now to reference for airline interviews. If you do it by correspondnce make sure you get a hardcopy of the training manuals for future reference. Don't think that you never need them again, because you will.

For a full time course Len Sales is great too. Don't know where he is now or even if he is still doing the course. Last I heard he was at Uni of Western Sydney.

I have used both Nathan Higgins (www.aft.com.au) and Gavin Secombe (www.atpl.com.au) and both are great. Good luck with it!

Thanks to all who answered as I am more than likely doing my ATPLs through Nathan at AFT!
Just in relation to the second part of my question, what should I do about IREX? propwash85 recommended self study from Bob Tait book. Is this the easiest way?

Bob Tait IREX
I used the Bob Tait IREX book for the exam it was a very good study resource. Clear, simple, well set out and thus easy to understand. Go and grab a practice exam CD for it, you can buy it of his website. Good luck.

Gavin Secombe especially for correspondence as he really makes flight planning straight forward.
The courses I did with Gavin were good, but if I had to do them all again I would definitely go with Nathan Higgins, hands down.
