For which feedback bank are you talking about?
I have seen people warning about this and is going to get worse BUT I am sure that Alex and the rest of the team will still be as close as it gets and at the end they will catch up as before when the new questions are added.

I used the online Bristol database, and for my 1st set of exams back in October it was very reliable.

However, for the January set, there were at least 10% less questions appearing in the exam from the online database. This is only using V2, the questions could well of been in V1.

Fortunately, I revised hard and didn't rely on the database, so still managed a 93% average, but I think those who rely entirely on the online question bank will begin to suffer in the future.

So, to finish an ATPL course, distance or residential, will take a lot of dedication, and a lot of time spent with textbooks.

Did mine down @ Cabair Bournemouth and finished up with a 95% average. Bloody hard work but I found the 3 sittings really suited me and the instructors were great. Make sure you choose what suits you because the ATPL's are a tough 6 months so you need as much as possible going your way.

Good Luck whatever you choose. Get your head down, work your arse off and they'll actually go quicker than you may think.

Hi there
I'm also interested to start an atpl distance learning course in UK. So I'm wondering is it possible to continue schooling (cpl, ifr, multi) in a different country after finishing the ground school.
Any help and advice appreciated, thanks

I think that you can do that.

They are JAR exams, so if they are for a JAR licence, it doesn't matter what country you take them in.
