For all those budding private pilots, here is your opportunity to get the very best tuition available in Australia - the Schoies PPL, conducted by hand picked, specialist theory teachers. Schoies makes the theory component of flying easy.

Six Saturdays in a group with other students is a far more efficient and easier way to cover the PPL theory than trying to study at home. No distractions and somebody else is sure to ask the question that you hadn’t thought of. BAK knowledge will be assumed although it will be revised.

We need a minimum of six participants, so if you want to get that PPL theory exam out of the way in a relaxed mode with only the flying to do, you should register early so we can finalise numbers and arrangements.

Location: SFC Classroom 1
