Module 1 module 2

[Jimmy The Big Greek]

I just want to know which subjects are in module 1 and 2 for jaa atpl written.
Do I have to take several exams a day or is one day apart for each exam?

One more question. I have the oxfords books which are excellent and I'am going to buy some "feedback" exercise books and pooleys keynotes. My question is as follows:
I have heard that you REALLY have to take a refresher coarse in order to pass the examinations. Is this true? Can I not make it with only the books and notes?

There is no module system....its just that most schools do it that way to split up the work load and to make it manageable. Bristol GS do 8 in the first and 6 in the second. You can take all of them in one week if you like although its a bit stressful. The CAA require however that you pass them all in a certain number of sittings.

The exams are sat in the the first week of every month starting on the monday...there are usually 2-3 a day but the module system helps to break this up a little.

The brush up course definitely helped me for module 1....its really helping you to pass the exams...you should really know most of it before you get there.

I think its also the case that you have to do it through an approved school or the CAA wont allow you to sit the exams...so make sure you do it through oxford or something.

Good Luck

Agree with tomcs.

Just to clarify: Which subject is in which module is left to the discretion of the individual schools, so contact the school you might be going to if you want to know how they split their subjects.

And yes, you do need to follow an approved course. (There are some exceptions for experienced ATPL-holders from other ICAO countries, I think - can't remember the details, but I doubt it applies to you).

Don't be pressurised into taking more exams at any one sitting than you're happy with. The schools usually split the subjects 7:7 or 8:6, but that doesn't mean that you're obliged to take the exams grouped in that way. Choose the combination that's best for you. You have four attempts at each subject and six sittings, to be completed in 18 months, so spread them out a bit more, if you wish.

Not only this but you have to go through the course notes using the guidance and following the worksheets and progress tests of an approved course. This is even more important to you now, as it means you have lot more to look at in choosing a school than some notes that are good.

There are at least 6 schools in the UK offering Distance-Learning courses - I work for one but am not sure of all the others that may be out there.

And at least one other that escapes my mind at the moment.

You should really visit some schools, talk to instructors and students, get the feel of the place, investigate the efficiency of their admin as far as possible (do they answer all your calls, and send things they say they will send). This is a very individual choice, and the exams are difficult. These factors are all important.

The one you left out is Atlantic Flight Training, Clowns.

plugging away as ever...

Of course, it's entirely coincidental that if he did mention AFT, his employer wouldn't be alphabetically first on the list.
