LAPL / PPL Classroom Groundschool
If you are not interested in our distance learning options, and instead prefer the classroom environment, we also offer a classroom groundschool for trainee pilots looking to understand the theory and complete their CAA PPL examinations.
This is not just a simple brushup, but instead intended to arm you with sufficient theory knowledge to help blend with your practical flight training, improve overall knowledge and pass the UK CAA PPL examinations.
We use experienced groundschool instructors and keep small student class sizes to help ensure you experience a free and open learning environment. We will cover the content, integrating important pilot soft skill sets and providing practice for any exams.
