If you are completing the course part time, the time taken to complete each licence, will depend on how often you fly.

 

Ground Theory 

Ground theory refers to study undertaken on the ground rather than in the air and is an integral part of flying training. 

As you proceed through your training you will have to pass written and oral examinations connected with the stage of flying that you are at. 

 

BAC offers you two different options to study the relevant subjects; 

• Courses - both part and full time. Varying periods and costs depending on subject 

• Private Tuition - one to one with an experienced tutor
