License verification typically takes 1–2 business days. Once completed, we will prepare your contract and send it to you for review. After signing the contract and completing the payment, your dedicated training coordinators will guide you through the entire process.

    What is Fast-Track Exam?

    • With the conventional ATPL schools you need to complete the full course (6-12 months) before you can start taking the final CAA exams. 

      Our training is different.  Pass as you go!

      With our Fast-Track System, you can take your first CAA exams on the subjects that you have just completed during the course (usually within 6-7 weeks from start).

    • Why is our pass-rate is significantly higher?

    • Learn & Pass instantly! Our students focus on 2-3 subjects at a time, rather than memorizing all 13 subjects before the first exam.

    ATPL Theory FAQ

    Yes, it is fully accepted in every EASA member countries.

    Your license also can be transferred to any other EASA member state.

    Optionally you can choose your exam location so you will get the certificate of your chosen Country

    A frozen ATPL is an expression referring to the qualifications of a pilot who has passed all 13 ATPL theoretical exams but has not yet met his or her flight requirements. It would become 'un-frozen' when the flight experience requirements are met.

    The ATPL theory certificate will remain valid for a period of 3 years from the date of efficiency for issue of the CPL(A) or IR(A) and 7 years from validity date of the IR(A) entered in an EASA CPL(A).

    Minimum study hours in ATPL theory course

    • - for pilots with PPL(A): 650 hours total (10% Online Classroom - 90% Self Study)
    • - for pilots with IR(A): 500 hours total
    • - for pilots with CPL(A): 400 hours total
    • - for pilots with CPL(A) and an IR(A): 250 hours total

    Total duration of the EASA ATPL Theory course including exams is typically 5-7 months.

    Any ICAO or EASA PPL license is enough to start the course. No other ratings are required.

    You have 18 months to complete all 13 exams from the first exam taken.

    It depends on which CAA you are taking the exams at. Usually there is no limitation on the number of subject, however the time is limited. At the Hungarian CAA you have 6 hours.

    No, you can obtain it anytime before the skill test.

    Once you accumulate 1500 total flight hours and 500 multi-pilot time, you can take the ATPL skill-test to obtain an ATPL licence without taking any additional theory exams. This is what commonly referred to as "unfreezing the licence". The primary distinction between an ATPL and a CPL licence lies in the authority to serve as a Pilot-in-Command (Captain) in multi-pilot commercial air transport. With a CPL, you can only act as a co-pilot (First Officer).

    I chose Easy-Pilot as theory ATO for my modular ATPL. Overall, I was very satisfied with my choice! Communication was always very fast, webinars were very punctual (every Saturday afternoon) and never cancelled, all necessary examinations and ATO-internal pre-exam assessments can be conducted at one's own pace completely independent and fully online. This was especially important to me, as I was working full time in parallel my studies. I'd like to especially extend my thanks to Szonja, who even responded to inquiries within minutes on Sunday afternoons - a stark contrast to German flight schools, where even simple things often take week to months, while students are left in the dark or are just being outright ignored (while paying much more money). Ask me how I know ;-) To provide some insights into the great communications: Initial contact with some questions was setup with the head instructor within a day, all questions were competently answered, the contract was signed from all sides within 12 hours or so, and I never waited more than a day for the signage of the official registration form from Easy Pilot's side. Overall, easy-pilot really does make the theory easy. You of course still have to pass the official examinations yourself, which does require a bit of effort on your side ;-) The combined price for the mandatory online classes, book, and full access to a question bank of choice (ATPLQ or AviationExam) is very fair. Would choose Easy-Pilot again and already recommended them to colleagues, who are now also students with Easy-Pilot. Don't be fooled by the website, which may appear a bit scamy at first: The offering is real and the service is well priced :-) There is a minor point Easy-Pilot can improve on: The web portal for internal assessments is a bit over-designed (in the "very flashy" sense) and could use some simplification. On the other hand, having a 120% polished portal would probably cost 3x the price, so I won't complain :-)

    I highly recommend EASY-PILOT as the go-to choice for ICAO to EASA ATPL License Conversion. I did all 13 papers within a year with help of Study Materials from EASY PILOT like CBT-360 and ATPLQUESTIONS. Taking the exams in Dubai made my life easy as well. Shoutout to the invigilator, Mr Nicolas for being a true professional . Online exams were done with no issues as well.
