ATPL theory
Fourteen subjects, two blocks, two formats: six hundred and fifty hours in the classroom in Charleroi, or a distance programme paced to your rhythm. Area 100 KSA included in both.
The ATPL(A) theory course prepares for the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority exams across fourteen subjects in two blocks. Block A starts in February, Block B in September. The course is taught in the classroom in Charleroi from Monday to Friday, or by distance learning with sixty-five hours of mandatory attendance.
Two formats
In the classroom in Charleroi, Monday to Friday, 9 to 12 and 13:30 to 16:30. Two three-month blocks, one starting in February, the other in September, in the order of your choice.
