CPL vs ATPL Theory - Study Time Required?

Postby Chopper Guy » Sat Sep 2 2017, 06:07

Hey Guys

I finished my CPL end of last year and now that I've had a bit of a break from the books I'm thinking it's time to get back into it and knock out my ATPL's.

How much time do I need to allocate to each subject in comparison to when I self studied my CPL subjects?

Eg. The same amount, more or less...

Specifically, I don't want to commit to starting the study only to get 3 months in and realise that their is a heap more content in the ATPL's then the CPL subjects and as such, I'm not going to have the time available to get them all done within the 2 year window.

Many Thanks

Hi Chopper,
Well done!. At the time (a long time ago :) I self studied and did an exam per month between normal commitments and flying at the time.

If you have the time at the moment and your aspiration is Offshore and or EMS, go for it.

The rewards are all worth it. All the best.
