ATPL Theory

Introduction

The ATPL, Airline Transport Pilot License, Theory Program provides you with the theoretical knowledge required to operate in the European air transportation. Are you ready to take the next step in your aviation career? Scandinavian Aviation Academy, SAA, offers a qualitative ATPL-Theory semi-distance course.

The ATPL-theory is the highest level of theory available in the aviation industry. With 14 books of in-depth aviation information to be studied, together with CBT, Computer Based Training, the course often proves to be quite demanding. Students must show dedication, discipline and motivation during the course to keep up to the set standards.

The SAA ATPL-theory program is a distance course consisting of approximately 40 hours of home studies per week, with a completion time of 35 weeks

The course is divided into two phases, each comprising half of the material to be studied. Each phase begins with an introduction week at the SAA HQ in Västerås with approximately 35 hours of classroom instruction. You will receive an introduction to the subjects and meet the various instructors that will guide you throughout the course.

During the first introduction week you will also be given an introduction to our Distance Learning System (DLS). This will be your tool of communication with your instructors and classmates, as well as the course organizer. You will also take tests and perform various checks through the DLS. The different assignments are both multiple choice questions from our own question bank and study questions where you have to write your own answers.

At the end of each phase is a final school test on each subject - a check to confirm that you possess the knowledge required to pass the Civil Aviation Authority exams.

This course provides you with the theoretical knowledge required to work as an airline pilot in Europe.
