Pathway Pilot Training (path2pilot.com)
WHY US?
Through very experienced mainly pilot ground instructors, Pathway continues to deliver both Residential and Distance Learning (DL) Courses to a very high standard that are second to none. Outstanding reference books and instruction has produced a proven track record of delivering great results for students and a very solid foundation of knowledge for a long flying career. Residential courses are 6 months of intensive (full-time) classroom training followed by 2 to 4 months (part-time) of self study for the essential theoretical knowledge for the 13 CAA exams you need to pass before embarking on your demanding ATPL flight training. DL Courses are part time, working to an agreed individual study plan and attending revision weeks prior to each session of exams. We have an on-site Exam Centre for the licence exams that are normally take 3 at a time every 2 months.
We also do licence conversion courses to EASA ATPL(A) , English language for Aviation tests and a short PBN upgade CBT course.
We are truly independent, but work closely with several quality EASA flight schools in the UK and abroad.
We will recommend your path to the flight training that delivers the best value for money for your individual needs and budget. In this way, you will achieve the prized frozen ATPL at a fraction of the price of the big schools' integrated courses - while still being as well trained and qualified to exactly the same standard.
