Good Bank Holiday Monday to all,

Does anyone know of this ATPL/DL provider? I can't find a website or any details. Any snippets from ppruners will be most appreciated.

Glasgow College of Nautical Studies will be the establishment you are thinking of, and offers a JAA ATPL theory course.

The course is run by ex BAe instructors from Prestwick who didn't move to Jerez with the school.

The link you require is:
http://www.glasgow-nautical.ac.uk/Co...es/jaaatpl.htm

From what I've heard, it is an excellent course - think it costs about £2500 from memory.

Hope this helps

Hi,
has anyone completed the full time course at Glasgow and if so what did you do for accomodation?

JAR ATPL at Glasgow Nautical College
 

Does anyone have any info about training at Glasgow, I have never seen any reports or comments on this college from the group.

Any info welcome

Had a mate up-there last year, he couldn't really fault them...

And as a plus point for you Metsys, a lot cheaper living than Dorset....and Scottish girls... http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/awink.gif

is the course at Glasgow a residential one for the duration - I mean is all of it taught in the classroom environment.

Or is it part correspondence / part class.

If anyone has been there could you say what the correspondence time to class time ratio is.

Thanks

hey, Im at the nautical college doing the full time course at the moment. They run 2 kinds of course full time and distance learning.
The full time course is 30 week duration where students can stay at halls of residence or in flats etc. Its taught in a classroom style for 840 hours and the average class is around 10.

Distance learning is split into two modules
module 1 consists of 345 hrs distance learning and 60 hrs full time ground school.
Module 2 consists 344 hrs and 60 frs full time ground school.
As I say I am studing there at the moment and am enjoying it and have no complaints about the staff or facilities.
For more infor the web site is www.glasgow-nautical.ac.uk
and don't hesitate to contact me if there is anything else I can help you with. :)

were you sitting some of your exams in August (with the pipe band background music ) ????

I have seen a few comments on Glasgow on this forum, all of them favourable and one or two even glowing.

If you search back into earlier posts you will probably be able to find them even now. Good luck Kid!

What goes up, must come down and its a bl***y good landing as long as you can walk away from it!

Jet_Girl:

Could you pass on to the administrator at Glasgow College of Nautical Studies that their website is down?

I am considering which would be the best choice between them and Bristol Groundschool....

Thanks :)

Web site appears to be working again.

As a matter of interest, how much do they charge, and do they charge VAT?

The cost for the full time JAA ATPL theory over 28 weeks is ( a reasonable) £2544. For the distance learning : £1950. Both exc. exam fees and course equipment.
I was up there 2 weeks ago to have a look around and it seems to be a very suitable place to get your head down and study. The instructors are mainly all ex-British Aerospace (Prestwick), the classes are small and the full time course is a lengthy 840 hrs. Plus they don't seem very preoccupied with just extracting your hard-earned. The down side really (as you all know) is whether to go into full time training at the present moment. :confused:

Does anyone have any experience of the ATPL ground course offered by Glasgow College of Nautical Studies

Thanks

Hi Spitfire747,I know someone who's studying tha ATPL course at Nautical. So I will get in contact with them and let you know what they say.
Cheers FD.

I recently completed the course at GCNS and would recommend it. Good price, good lecturers and on the whole good material - if you can live without colour. Accom is also cheap if you don't live locally.

Where in Glasgow??
 

Sat here filling out my application for my ATPL exams. Before I chose my secondary location, can anyone tell me if the Glasgow venue is actually in Glasgow or whether it is still half an hour south at Prestwick??

It is pretty close to the center of Glasgow at the Nautical College

Thanks Flypuppy, that'll do me nicely.
