Frequently Asked Questions
Ground School Courses
‘What is Fast Track'?
Fast Track simply means that the course is undertaken on a more intensive basis. These courses are primarily designed for those short of time, which lets face it, is most of us! The PPL Theory courses are designed to last one day with the examination taken at the end of that day.Typical start and finish times are 9.30am to 4.00pm with a morning, lunch and afternoon break. Other options are available.
‘Do people normally do all 7 subjects in one week ’?
This really depends on the individual. Most people come to see us because they are either short of time, can't absorb the material by reading a book, or just fed up of juggling working life, family and learning to fly. The majority of our students come for say 4 days and do 4 subjects & exams, then have a few days off, come back and finish the rest. Others come for 7 days and complete them all. But remember, these are bespoke courses designed to work for you. So you choose how many subjects you want to study and we'll do the rest.
‘I haven’t been to school for 30years, is there a lot of Maths & Science ’?
This is a question asked by many people prior to starting our Ground School. The answer is an emphatic 'no' you do not. The course is taught by qualified Flying Instructors & Teachers who understand that everyone’s needs are different and are therefore able to teach you exactly what you need from the beginning. This will enable you to become a safer pilot and to pass your exam of course.
‘What will I get out of it’?
To start with, all the exams passed which is necessary for the award of the PPL as well as a great deal of satisfaction and a detailed understanding of the key elements of PPL Aviation Theory. This knowledge can be further applied to the natural sciences and would serve you well should you decide to embark upon suchcourses with colleges/universities in the future.
‘Are your courses run on a one to one basis ’?
Usually yes. We have found that teaching 'large' groups of people can be beneficial, but inevitably someone suffers as a result of either not understanding when the rest of the group does, or indeed being held back by others when they do understand! So, we find that teaching one to one or in very small groups (no more than 3) ensures that you dictate the pace and get the most out of your time spent with us and get that exam passed. You can of course come as a group to study with us.
‘What are your pass rates ’?
100% of course! Our dedicated and patient instructors spend as much time as is required to get you through. For the vast majority of people, one day per subject is more than sufficient.
'How will the course be delivered’?
At The Great Circle we pride ourselves on delivering a first class training program. To achieve this we use qualified professionals and state of the art ICT. The lecture format is via high quality, industry leading PowerPoint Presentations. You will be provided with a high quality ’workbook’ which is in fact a duplicate of the presentation itself. There are details for you to fill in, but this method of delivery is highly desirable as it cuts down on note taking, thereby enabling you to focus more fully on the lecture. There are times when good old fashioned ‘chalk and talk’ are preferable and indeed necessary. You also have the option to use our computers and run fully interactive lessons with our new award winning specialist aviation software.
