Heliwest Ground Theory

Heliwest offers a wide variety of helicopter and aeroplane theory training solutions. From PPL to ATPL, we have a course to suit your training needs.

Heliwest Full Time Ground Theory
 
These theory classes run from Monday to Friday throughout the year and reuqires approximately three months to complete seven CPL subjects.

Full time training runs from 0900 (9:00am) - 1330 (1.30pm). This gives students the oppurtunity to fly before or after class in order to continue their practical training.

These classes have been designed to take students with little or no aviation experience through to the standard of commercial pilot. If you are not successful in any of the theory subjects, you may re-sit the next class at no additional expense.

Part Time and After Hours Classes

Part time and after hours classes are designed for students who are trying to fit their training in amongst a busy schedule. There are classes available on week nights (Tuesdays and Thursday nights) or weekends (Sundays)

Private

This is certainly the more intensive and expensive way to learn. For $100 per hour you can have dedicated "one on one" instructor time. Although this can become a costly proposition, if expense is not a problem this is a great way to learn. This can be a great way for students who self study to fill knowledge gaps prior to exams or to gain knowledge fast.

Correspondance

For students who are restricted by work and finances, another option is self study. This can be difficult to do as there are often distractions to your study, and you don't see the "tricks of the trade" from the classroom environment. However, if this is the way to fit study into your schedule we are are happy to provide as much guidance as possible via phone or email.
