6.0 Methodology

All of Bristol Groundschool International’s modular theoretical courses use blended learning techniques where several different methods of training delivery are employed, each to their best effect. The students work through distance learning phases using CBT and traditional manuals completing a series of lessons and progress tests through the CBT program, called ATPdigital, then attend classroom based revision courses. The students’ progress during the distance learning phases is assessed by their progress through the lessons and tests in ATPdigital.

The time spent in study lessons and tests for a sample of approximately 150 selected and supervised cadets using a web based Learning Management System has been monitored and averaged and the data used to determine the expected time spent on ATPdigital.

The time spent in the classroom phase is known and time spent revising from manuals and revising from ATPdigital has been estimated to determine the expected time spent on the course of instruction. Time spent studying from manuals is not recorded, neither is time spent on allocated homework in the classroom phases.

The self-assessed progress tests, called ‘lesson quizzes’ in ATPdigital, appear at the end of each lesson and so every hour of study. The Progress Tests are placed at the end of each group of lessons which together make a ‘topic’. Topics vary in length from one lesson to eight, so there is a progress test at a maximum interval of every 8 hours of study.


7.0 Time Allocated to Each Module

Each course complies with the minimum total study and contact hours required by Part-FCL. Training may be offered in addition to these minima. To allow flexibility to deliver this additional training to meet the training needs of each individual student, the hours are not broken down by subject here, but the minimum hours are shown.

9.0 Training Programme 9.1 Pre-Entry Requirements

When the student registers the ATPdigital program they are required to complete a ‘personal details’ page which records personal details and licences held.

If ‘no licenses held’ is selected the student is warned via a pop-up that the basic requirement is to hold at least a PPL and that it is only permitted to commence training without a PPL if complying with a scheme approved by the relevant Authority to allow credits for military experience.

For ATPL and CPL courses, compliance with the requirement to establish that the student has an adequate level of mathematics and physics and an understanding of English is established by the student completing the first lessons of ATPdigital, which are lessons and tests relating to basic mathematics and physics, conducted in English.

9.2 Distance Learning Phases

Training during the distance learning phases is scheduled to enable smooth progression through the course, to allow continuous monitoring of performance and to regulate the total period of training undertaken. The work schedule, which consists of CBT lessons each followed by an assessed quiz interspersed with longer more difficult progress tests, is presented on the home page of ATPdigital. The duration of each module of training can be adjusted by the student or the ATO to either increase or decrease the work rate.

Training programmes for the distance learning phase are included at Annexes A to F to Part B.


Setting the start and end dates determines the target dates for the lessons and progress tests in the course. The student’s progress (in red) will be graphed against their target (in blue).

The ‘My Course’ page shows the lessons and tests in the course order and broken down by module. Completed lessons are colour coded. Double clicking on an entry takes the student directly to that lesson or test.


Lessons are presented in a standard format with a title page, a list of syllabus objectives that apply to the lesson (a requirement for approval) and then the lesson content. Many subjects have introductory videos for each lesson and videos at the end of the lesson summarising the content. Animations and videos are included in the content, where relevant, to enhance the learning experience.

All images, animations and videos can be expanded for easy viewing. Where required, such as for blank fuel plans that need to be completed, there is an option to print out the images.

At the end of each lesson the student is presented with a multi-choice quiz which tests their understanding of the lesson. The lesson quiz must be completed 100% correctly to record the lesson as complete, shown below is the screen with the results of a lesson quiz, this one must be retaken.


Each time the quiz is taken the answer sequence is randomised. Once the test is complete the program exits to the ‘My Course’ page ready for the next lesson or test.

Multi-choice progress tests are inserted after each topic, which could include several lessons, is completed. Progress test questions are either selected from the exam database or, where a slightly different structure is required early on in the syllabus, are written specifically for the purpose.

Progress tests are more difficult than the lesson quizzes and longer, often containing up to 60 questions. The pass rate is lower, at 75%. Students can take the progress tests as many times as they wish to perfect their scores and consolidate their learning, the answers are randomised each time and the system records both the initial and the most recent test scores.

In addition to the quiz and progress test questions, students can access a built-in database of exam questions that is designed to match the EASA CQB as closely as possible. The options are either to search for a topic, to take a timed exam, to take an untimed exam or to practise questions. When exams are requested they are generated so that they contain the correct proportions of content from each syllabus objective.


When practising questions most students will want to view all the questions that might apply to a subject, which may well be several thousand questions. The software allows them to start working through the questions and then return to the subject later to look at either the questions they have yet to attempt, the ones they got wrong, or all questions again. Database questions are provided with worked answers and explanations, including graphics where required.

In addition to displaying the lessons in course sequence ATPdigital will display the lessons by subject to make revision easier. The lessons are only available for revision once they have completed through the ‘My Course’ page. Select Subjects to view the lessons sorted by subject.


The content is routinely updated from the main database so that changes, new questions, videos and animations are downloaded within minutes of them being made available, always provided there is an internet connection. At the same time the results of any recent activity on your part are uploaded to the main database for analysis by the course provider.

9.3 Classroom Phases

CPL(A, CPL(H), EIR, CB-IR, IR(A and H), ATPL(A) and ATPL(H)/IR

During the classroom phase there will be six hours of instruction daily divided into four sessions from 0900 to 1030, 1045 to 1215, 1300 to 1515 and 1530 to 1700. Not all lectures will be relevant to all students; for example some subjects are outwith the scope of the IR syllabi. In these circumstances students will be allocated free study periods during lectures not required for their course.

Training will be conducted from Monday to Friday and, exceptionally and at the CTKI’s discretion, at weekends.

A specimen training programme for the classroom phase is at Annex C.

ATPL(A) to ATPL(H) Conversion and ATPL(H) to ATPL(A) Conversion

Part-FCL does not require classroom training for conversion training courses. Conversion training students will be offered classroom training as an option.


9.4 Training Records

Training records exist in electronic format in a database which is offsite and regularly backed up with copies also stored off site.

Student administrative records are combined with training records. Training and administrative records are to be kept for a period of at least three years.

9.5 Training Effectiveness

Training will be carried out on a basis of continuous assessment.

Training effectiveness is assessed and monitored through the quality system described in the Compliance Manual.

9.6 Student Discipline

In the event that the behaviour of a student becomes disruptive to the point where it has a negative impact on the learning of others or endangers other students or staff, the matter is to be immediately referred to the HT or, in his absence, the CTKI, who shall deal with each case on an individual basis. In the event that, following appropriate intervention, the students’ behaviour is not sufficiently modified, the HT (or CTKI) shall consider sanctions including asking the offending student to leave the course.

9.7 Course Completion

The candidate is required by Part-FCL to possess written evidence that a course of approved training has been completed prior to the examinations. Under normal circumstances the company’s certification on the exam portal fulfils this requirement. If the candidate requests a separate certificate this can be provided, an example is attached at Annex D. In addition some Authorities require authentication on the licence application form.

The designated signatories for this form and for the exam application form are:

A.J. Whittingham (HT) A.A. Pyke (Administration Manager)

Specimen signatures are at Annex E.
