It is possible, I have known people who have managed it, but the majority of people tend to fail one or two exams, so it is best to allow an extra couple of months for resits.

I did XMDD, even though I failed one (Law - euch!). We regularly find students do so. It does take hard work and some aptitude though! I do agree with Flypuppy, most seem to fail the odd exam.
2FLYEU - don't know any specific cases but if you work hard and are good, especially with some background in the subjects it can be done. Best of luck.

I managed to sit all the exams in 6 months while on a distance learning course. I think I even had a break to remodel the bathroom.......Though I did fail two exams that have to be made up in an extra month.

Yep I did it studying full time. Some of my classmates also did it too.
Checkboard knocked them all off in 2 months. (Distance learning, then crammed all the brush ups and exams into 2 months). Not recommended for the faint hearted.

For those dedicated enough and with plenty of spare time, distance learning is the quickest option available. I completed the 14 exams with first time passes in about 14 weeks. That included PPSC going bust in the middle. Needed to spend about 50 hours a week reading.
I would use Bristol GS.

I did the JAA ATPL theories as a distance learning. The Bristol material is very good. It took me 7 months and I was working full time and also did some repairs to my house during summer. There is not much free time after all that but hey, it only 7 months..
