Air-Espace now offers the possibility to train for the ATPL, CPL, IR and PPL Theoretical exams via an internet "Distance Learning" course, developed by a partnering FTO. It is now possible to go through 3/4 of the training from your Personnal Computer at home, with a complete set of Oxford/Jeppesen set of materials, following a specialy designed syllabus. The student gradually progresses through all required subject areas. The study in each 8 hour module is validated by an on-line multiple choice test, required to be completed before moving on to the next subject. The normal pace of study for the ATPL or the IR is approximately 16 hrs of weekly study, allowing the completion of the course in 10 to 12 months for the ATPL and 4 to 6 months for the IR. Personnal study is complemented by a "Presence Learning session" of 3 weeks of classroom work with dedicated Air-Espace Instructors (ATPL) and 10 days for IR, in order to answer students' questions and to verify their preparedness for the written exams.

ADSL is not required for the course as the "on-line connection time" is short and not required for the core of the study time. This approach combines the flexibility and ease of internet access, whatever your location. Numerous tools are available, including a database of multiple choice questions exceeding 12'000 questions in English. Starting the course can be done anytime, requiring only a brief introduction to the application, called a "kick-off meeting". These are scheduled every months. Please consult the Air-Espace Calendar on this site for these dates, for the "presence Learning" sessions and for the FOCA exam sessions. The holders of ICAO ATP (inlcuding those with only the Theoretical Knowledge ATP exam) are exempted form the "Presence Learning" seminar.
