Choosing your course package

If you choose to study by purchasing individual courses (theoretical knowledge subjects) as and when required, you'll find that access to these courses only last for one month. So in that time period, you'll want to try to study, and take the official exam. If you don't manage to do it in the timescale, don't panic - you can buy the course again for another month. This approach is generally suitable for people who want to be encouraged to learn one subject at a time - in other words, you need to be encouraged to "get on with your study"!

Depending on the pilot licence you are training for depends on what theoretical knowledge courses you will need to undertake (and the associated official exams). You'll find more information on what courses you need by looking at the Guidance Menu above again and choosing the relavent pilots licence. Alternatively you can see the courses applicable to the type of pilots licence you are training for via our Course Selector Wizard.

Please note that for *MOST* courses when purchased individually, there are two types of access options (that have different features):

This option gives you full access to all of our course material, extra resources, on-line tests and exams, unlimited "ask an instructor" support, course completion certificates, and exam readiness certificates (when appropriate to the course and after the correct criteria has been met). Note you do not need to purchase test & exam question bank access if you have already bought a full course.

This option is suitable for those who just wish to use our "question bank" for revision. This gives you access to the tests and exams (question banks) associated with each course, with support limited to explanations (you will need to purchase the full course option if you wish to use our "Ask an Instructor" facility). You will not receive a course completion certificate, but you will receive an exam readiness certificate (when appropriate to the course and after the correct criteria has been met). However, be vary aware that you are unlikely to pass the official exam in the subject if you have only studied test and exam questions. You really ought to use our FULL COURSE option above. Note you do not need to buy "TEST & EXAM ACCESS" if you have already purchased the course with the full course option.

An alternative to buying individual courses is to buy one of our Starter Kits. These offer great value for money, and in addition, enable you to purchase all of the relavent courses for the pilots licence you are training for in one go. In addition, access to these courses is given for a much longer time period (either 18 or 24 months).

We have a variety of Starter Kits available for each of the pilot licences - each kit contains all of the necessary theoretical knowledge subject material. But then we also offer further relavent courses depending on the starter kit you purchase. You can see a comparison of these kits on our Starter Kits page.
