PPL Exams

SWS are a CAA registered examination facility, offering training for the JAR-FCL PPL / NPPL Theoretical Knowledge syllabus.

The main subjects excluding communications are as follows:-


On completion of the first successful pass, all further exams must be passed within 18 months. All of the exams will then remain valid for a further two years to allow for license issue. If a license is not issued within this two year period all of the exams will then be deemed to have time expired, and must be retaken!

It is important to note that a student is not allowed to undertake a PPL skill test until they attained a successful pass in all of the written exam papers.

We should point out that if after three attempts of an examination subject you were still unsuccessful, the fourth attempt would have to be with the CAA at a regional test centre or Aviation House Gatwick incurring a cost of £44.00 per exam.
