Ha ha, don't worry I'm under no illusions as to what I've got coming... I think the mentality is 'the sooner I start, the sooner I finish!' Hence I can't wait to start
We've all got to do them at some stage regardless..
Thanks for the advice though Nashers

I did my exams there, good tutors, you soon learn to ignor the bull S**t and learn exam technique as well as the subject as just knowlage alone wont work so dont fixate on it, theres a lot to know in a short time, but a lot of it is a reading test, take your time and work the numbers and you normally come out with the right answers, if not go for safest, 2nd highest, longest answer and avoid answers with the word only and never.
good luck.
p.s. pocket rocket! lol

Just out of curiosity...(This is for people who have completed the course at LMU)....
What did you end up paying over the entire duration? (This Excludes transport/ accomodation/ food) Etc.
Their website states the Foundation Degree in Airline Management (Pilot Pathway) is circa £2k
Plus they state, you need to fund your own flying training (It's the responsibilty of the student).
£4,000- PPL
£20,000- CPL
£12,000- IR
So is it right in saying you former students spent around £40,000 overall (Plus another 2k say, for contingency)???
*Confused*

london met
im phase B @ london met, got exams next week,
gotta say david's comments are spot on... you really need to become familiar with exam technique.. often the 2nd highest answer is correct and the wordiest answer is also... just useful info to know when you're really stuck on a question or running out of time!!!
also, its worth subscribing to the Bristol Question Bank, they have a lot of questions in there which do come up regularly in the real exams!!
also, Patrick Geary is a Legend!!!

You will be fine, the amount of physics needed is very little. I've just finished at LMU and most of the 21 people present had little or no previous higher level maths or physics knowledge. If you want to do any background reading, get yourself an electrics gcse book - tended to be the area we most struggled on.
LMU are a fantastic bunch and with hard work they WILL get you through in the allocated time with very high results (as we have all just achieved). Don't be afraid of the course, work hard, play a little and enjoy the new friends you meet. I guaratee you'll look back and think what was all the fuss about.
Please make personal contact for any other advice

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']'In reply to a message I received'[/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']I spent 3.5 - 4hrs travelling daily so I'm not the average student who lived a bit closer. Firstly, be prepared to but a busy social life on hold for a while - you will struggle if that gets in the way. Sure go out and have beers once a week if that's what you mean but I'd personally limit it. You will soon get behind if you don't do at least an hour or two of study in the evenings. It's basically covering what you learnt in class during the day. None of it is too hard but more a question of applying yourself. You will soon meet a whole new bunch of friends all with the same common goal and you will adapt very quickly to the new regime. Spend at least 6-8hrs on one day at the weekend and make sure you have a day off or you'll burn out!!
Financially, I'm not sure I can help you with that one. I think the cost is around £2250, well worth it. Includes all books and course hand outs. My mortgage and travel costs were in excess of £1300 a month without food and bills so budget well. You can find cheapish accommodation around if need be but make sure you have access to the internet in the evening as you will need it as part of your study programme.
All the tutors at LMU are helpful and if you're thinking about going then give them a call - always on hand.[/FONT]

LMU
generally speaking, it has been a good school so far, most of the lecturers are very good, although sometimes you may get bombarded with a bit of dross, stories about flight engineers saving the day on the VC10 etc.... but lets not get into that.
TBH on the social side: you do have to put quite a bit of your social life on hold, for the last four months i've sort of drifted out of my social circle a bit, what with always declining invitations from friends to go out in the week, so i can do feedback questions or whatever, but my main recommendation to overcome this is to be sociable with your course-mates, because at the end of the day, they are in the same position as you and they know what its like to be making sacrifices, that your other 'non pilot' friends don't understand. They will be with you til the end, so i recommend going out with them at the end of the week, have a dig at the lecturers, bit of banter, etc, and it will help you get through it!!!
also, i heard there are two Norwegian girls starting in the September course, so the new intake may be quite priveliged.....
ps: doormen downstairs, .... dross!!!

Hello
What sort of info do you need?
here is a link to their website, they run courses every 3 months so you dont have to worry about applying after september.
Full-time ATPL
i dont know if there are many places left the only week there was only 7 plus you would need to do the entrance exam which they would have to send you and do. the best idea would be to ring them i would say.

You sit the exams during nominated months. The exams run over 4 days.
I am on Phase B at the moment, distance learning and am sitting 4 exams on November 4th. The next exams being held at LMU would be in February.
Hope that helps
