Yes. You must get all the flight tests and your license, CPL or ATPL, issued within 36 months.
If you do the ATPL theory and get a CPL IR issued then the ATPL theory is frozen until you have enough hours to get an ATPL issued.
If you just do the CPL, and don't bother with the IR, the ATPL theory credit disappears in a puff of smoke after 36 months and, if you ever wanted an ATPL, you would have to do all the exams again.

OXFORD AND BRISTOL ATPL BOOKS FOR DL
Anyone seen both sets of new edition OAT and BGS books?
I have Oxford MET, OPS PROCEDURES, COMM and AIR LAW. I need to buy the rest and am wondering if BGS books are better suited to distance learnng.

I'm currently doing the Bristol gs course, and they provide the books, seven of them to be percise, and they also provide the cd (which is very good!)
Ps I must say, I am very happy with them!!
Sorry... they also provide, student airway manual, basically all the studying material you will need for the exams.

15 books in total, 1 of which is referece material (AIC extracts, CAP manuals for Mass & Balance, Performance and Flight Planning.)
Jeppesen Student Airways manual.
CD-ROM Exam question Database. (Like the BGS online database without the advantage of continuous updates!)
Ring binder folder full of the "College assesment Papers" which you complete as you go.
I think thats about it!
Oh and you get a login for their "Virtual College" where they post up snappy animations etc they use for teaching their Full time courses.
Hope this helps!

Oxford Aviation Training Distance Learning Ground School
Hello All. I am about to let £2500 go on an ATPL distance learning theory course at Oxford Aviation Training. But, before doing so, I would be very grateful of any info regarding OAT, and the course that they offer. Is there anybody out there who has been and done, or doing this particular course at OAT, or even know of this course at OAT? If so, please let me know.
Thankyou.
Thankyou.

Welcome to Pprune. Please take a few minutes - well, hours maybe! - to look at the Archive Reference Threads sticky at the top of the forum. Within that thread are links to many useful topics, including this one about OAT.

OAT
Hi Starways,
I'm currently enrolled on OATs Distance Learning ATPL Course, although I'm finding some things heavy going and a little difficult I've been quite happy with the help and info they've provided me.
The course as you are probably aware is set out in frames where you have to read so many chapter(s) in one frame then take the end of frame exam(s) to move on to the next one, you can send your results via e-mail or by the hard copy papers they supply, you also get to use OATs virtual college with all sorts of info and Computer aided instruction which are pretty good.
