Best distance learning for EASA atpl?
Hello, I am a 737 pilot in Canada looking to take the 14 EASA ATPL exams to begin the process of converting my Canadian ATPL to EASA atpl.
I have done some research and found Bristol Groundschool to be the most popular choice. However, at over £2000 for the course I figured I would try to see if there are any cheaper alternatives out there that would provide a similar quality of course.
Any suggestions?

Bristol Ground School is like Disney World. Until you have been, you have no idea how good it is and trying to explain to someone who has never been is difficult.
Goggle Bristol Ground School in the Uk.
They have a facebook page and also a forum page.

CATS ATPL have a great app with Question banks and PDF study guides, back this up wit th Aviation Exam QB and you wont go far wrong, worked for me when converting my HK ATPL to EASA ATPL.

If it's cheap, there'll be no education at all. Some PowerPoint slides, a year of aviationexam access and 2 hours brush up session before each of 14 exams. You'll end up with a self-educated-EASA-accredited-pilot.

Anyone could explain me how does it works the training with atpl distance learning? For example, i buy the Bristol pack, with online lessons. Where can i do exams and brush up days? In some schools, or i can choose where?

Only if you have a minimum amount of hours PIC on multi pilot aircraft.
I will repeat the mantra - you cannot pass the EASA exams on knowledge alone! We've had several CFIIs try that and it doesn't work.

Completely agree with Paco, these exams require many hours of reading and QB practice. I have seen many pilots try and pass these with minimal effort and come unstuck!!
The subjects aren't hard its just a huge amount of information/subject matter. The other issue being the fact that the quality of the questions due to translation from various other languages can sometimes cause confusion on what is actually being asked.
