Pre-requisites for ATPL Courses

You need to have completed an ICAO recognised Private Pilots Licence (PPL) before starting commercial pilot training or have equivalent military experience.  A PPL is not always a regulatory requirement for starting ATPL ground school, but this level of flying knowledge and experience is a sensible starting point and so required by Path2pilot.com.  A suitable PPL course can be arranged by us if needed - this enables you and us to assess if you are suited to becoming a professional pilot.  You also need to have basic academic qualifications in Maths & Physics and, for non-native speakers, an adequate level of English.  A personal device (any tablet or PC) is needed to enable you download the iBooks for the course - these are then yours to keep for 3 years.  A Class 1 Medical Certificate is highly recommended before you embark on the expense of an ATPL.
