 Platinum Flexible...
A special 2-year flexible distance
learning study programme for armed forces personnel and others with unpredictable
lifestyles and work/travel commitments.
At club66pro.co.uk, we understand that the armed forces personnel and
some others, such as contractors, have different study requirements, when compared to
most people. |

Firstly, you have probably got a dozen (possibly many
more) years' of experience in aircraft maintenance with either the RAF or Fleet
Air Arm, and have completed plenty of classroom training in aircraft
maintenance, delivered to you by highly competent and qualified instructors, and
you know the systems of your aircraft like the back of your hand.
Consequently, you will be expected to "fast-track" through the EASA modules in a
period of about 2-years, instead of the usual 5-years or more, that, for
example, a civilian airline apprentice may require.
A certain "honing" of your knowledge is required, to adapt
it to the (peculiar) civilian ways, and to the CAA examination question
philosophies. Self-study is the most efficient way to switch your forces
qualifications, to the most appropriate of civilian qualification for
the aircraft maintenance practitioner - the EASA Part-66 Basic Licence, and
distance learning is the most appropriate for your work commitments. That is
where we come in, with our package of quality civilian-aircraft oriented
textbooks, which more than adequately cover all Part-66 Module subjects, and
question practice with our 2-year continuous Platinum Flexible Study Programme by
club66pro.co.uk, which comes with assistance from qualified civilian instructors
via
the inclusive Tutorial Support service.
Secondly, we understand the unpredictability of armed
forces life. Although your Postings Officer will try to make your final
years in the forces as stable as possible, to allow you to attend resettlement
courses, or get down to some serious self study for a civilian qualification (in
our case, the EASA Part-66 basic licence), the commitments of today's armed
forces often means that you are posted to active duties overseas, where studying
is a practical impossibility. For this reason, our 2-year Study Programme has
the additional flexibility of being able to be suspended (or put
"on-hold"), until such a time that you return to a more stable period, and are
able to resume your studies. The 2-year Study Programme, is 2-years of truly
active study, although the total elapsed time this may consume,
is effectively unlimited.
And of course, these restrictions to the continuity of
studies do not afflict only those members of the armed forces. Many
civilian aircraft maintenance technicians, contractors for example, by the very
nature of their job, often cannot guarantee that they will be in one place for a
period long enough to study uninterrupted, for all the required modules.
The Platinum Flexible Study Programme is therefore ideal for whoever that may
apply to, whether members of the armed forces or not. |

Can I enrol before I leave the armed forces?
That is what the scheme is primarily intended for.
As soon as you have decided what you wish to do after you leave the forces, if your
choice is to go for the CAA EASA Part-66 Basic Licence, then you should begin
the distance learning, and enrol on the Platinum Flexible Study Programme scheme.
This should be at least 2-years before you leave the armed
forces, but if you have less than this before you leave, you can still join, and
your Study Programme will be carried over after you leave.

Do I have to be in the
armed forces to enrol?
Not at all. It is ideal for anyone with an
unpredictable work/travel lifestyle.

How long does the Study Programme last?
Two years of active study time, worked out on a daily basis (730 days). This means that if there
is a period that you know you will be unable to study, you may have the
Study Programme suspended (or put "on-hold"). Just email us and we will put
your 2-year Study Programme on-hold until you return. Email us when you return
to tell us to un-suspend your Study Programme. The minimum suspension period is
1-month (30-days), but there is no maximum period. Your Study Programme must be open for a minimum of 1-month (30-days) before you can suspend it again.

If I have a problem with any part of my studies, can I get
help from a qualified instructor?
Yes, this is a fully inclusive distance learning package.
An instructor is always at hand via our fully featured
Tutorial Support system.
Tutorial Support is included automatically with your Platinum Flexible
Study Programme. If you have any problem understanding a particular question, or
subject, just enter the Tutorial Support section of club66pro.co.uk and a
qualified and experienced instructor will answer your query as required.

How many modules can I
open at one time?
Choose Platinum Flexible-1, and you can open any ONE module at any one
time.
Choose Platinum Flexible-2, and you
can open any TWO modules at any one time.
Apart from the Study Programme period
being 2-years, and Tutorial Support being automatically included with the
Platinum Flexible Study Programme, the features are the same as those of the
keyaccount memberships (silverkey and goldkey).

Is the Study Programme
intended for A, B1 (mechanical) or B2 (Avionic) students?
Both. You choose which modules you want to open, and
which modules you want to remain unopened. You also choose the order you
wish to open them, and for how long you wish them to be open. Your
learning rate and sequence is entirely at your command, and is truly flexible.

What is it that is
more 'flexible' about the Platinum Flexible Study Programme, compared to a silverkey
or a goldkey account?
Well, it is 2-years duration, instead of 1-year, but the real flexibility
comes with the ability to put your Study Programme on-hold for a minimum of 1-month
at a time, and an unlimited maximum duration.
You can do this as many times as you wish, thus we give you support with
complete flexibility and value for money.

Once I have opened a module, is there a
specified period that I must keep it open?
Yes. 2-weeks, the same as a
keyaccount (silverkey or goldkey depending on whether you choose Platinum
Flexible-1, or Platinum Flexible-2 respectively).

Can I re-open a module
I have previously opened and closed?
Yes, the same as a
keyaccount (silverkey or goldkey depending on whether you choose Platinum
Flexible-1, or Platinum Flexible-2 respectively)..

Do you have a FAQ for the Textbook Package?
Yes, see the airtechbooks.com website. The recommended books are listed by Module. If you wish to purchase all the books required to complete all modules, checkout the Textbook Package. However, you may find you already have many of the titles in your Station Library. Additionally, if you still have the course notes from your trainee days, you will find that for the subjects that are common between miltary and civilian aviation (maths, physics, electrics, aerodynamics etc.), these are quite adequate for the job.

Can I get a refund if I decide not to
continue with my studies
before the expiry of the Study Programme period?
Yes. 50% of the fees paid, based on a day-by-day pro-rata proportion
of the outstanding duration. For example, if you decide to quit studying
after 18-months, you will be refunded 50% of 6-months (being the remaining
period) worth of fees.
If your fees have been paid by your employer, or by ELCAS,
or any other third party, refunds will be made only with the express permission
of that party via a suitable arrangement with them, and will be made only to
that party.
