All students are asked to study chapters 2 & 3 as a bare minimum of the CAA Publication CAP413 before attending the course.

It is also recommended that you read the supplement to CAP413 called A reference guide to to UK phraseology.

The exams are generally not that difficult however they do take a degree of application to pass them. We prefer the students self study as we can’t pour the knowledge into you.
