Books are provided! You pay over £1950 so that's the least you can expect- exam fees are extra. If I were you, I would get signed up to Bristol Feedback immediately. Good course with nice people. Currently distance learning myself so have not had much interaction with tutors but they all seem OK- some better than others.

'Google' will help. It does not say that you must do it from own knowledge.
Also, if you have the revision pack, alot of the answers are in there. You can also find some of the answers in the PPL Text books. Just look it up in the Index.
Hope it helps!
Good Luck!

I then went on to pass all 14 exams so don't worry about it too much. That test is along the lines of the stuff you will get in the real things, but if you put in the time and effort then they shouldn't be too much of a problem and the guys at London Met are excellent - sometimes wish I was back there doing them all again as I had such a good time, it has been the best part of training so far - and not many people say that about Ground School !!!.

My time at London Met
I have just completed a full time ATPL course at London Metropolitan University and I thought I would share my experience.
I have personally had a very good experience at London Met. I would highly recommend them to anybody. I found the course not only very interesting also great fun.
The lecturers were second to none with some great experience behind them. I found their teaching methods excellent. They always have time for their students and are very patient. They also have some brilliant stories of VC-10s and their RAF days!
The lectures try to make the lessons fun and enjoyable which I really liked, for example Chris the Air Law lecturer had great ways of getting you to remember the endless laws and rules. The subject I was most worried about was Gen Nav, however Peter’s ways of teaching and his rules really helped. He knows the wiz wheel like the back of his hand.
My advise to anyone looking at doing a ATPL course at London met is just work hard and enjoy the course and you will pass. Do not rely on question banks to pass the exams, their a great tool to help you through the exams but if you have a paper like my Instruments paper you will fail as only 2 or 3 questions were from the question bank.
I passed all 14 exams first time with an average of 95% and I am happy. I don’t think I would have ever of got results like this if it weren’t for the great lecturers and friends from London Met. JAR34 guys I will miss you! Beer will be flowing in a few weeks at the catch-up.
Any questions PM me.

Hi Everyone
I posted a new thread about current situation at London Met vs Oxford etc, but thought I would also post here in case it reaches anyone else/more ppl...
Has anyone finished here very recently and if so what do they think of it now in 2010? (Full Time)
Any comparisons to the likes of Oxford (Which costs another £1600ish)?
Had a very detailed reply on the other thread but everyone's opinion is welcomed, thank you!
PS. Thanks to flyvirgin for his great advice.

Course Pre-entry Requirements
Academic
There are no academic prerequisites for undertaking this course laid down by the JAA. However, it is expected that you must demonstrate a sufficient knowledge of maths and science. We would recommend a minimum of GCSE grade C or above, (or equivalent) in Mathematics and English, plus preferably Physics. In order to avoid problems later in the course you must complete the pre-course Maths and Physics study package prior to commencing the course. The Course Organiser will be able to advise you if you are in any doubt.

Yes finished in April 2010.
Good, and from what I have heard improved instructors in several subjects, POF, Gasturbines - Patrick is great in AGK, you will never forget what valves an aircraft has.
Be prepared to have your head ready for take off, as some instructors ex RAF, and they set of with some tempo on some of the subjects.
All in all it was good, has it's negatives also, specially the coffee police security - be prepared to spend extra hours after school self study, 2-4 hours a day + one weekend day - after the first 2 - 3 weeks.
