A Class 1 medical is a must if you want to become a professional pilot and fly for a career. This medical can only be taken at the Aeromedical Centre in the Mater Hospital, Dublin (tel: +353 1 8858615). It is best to complete this medical before any training begins. A Class 2 medical is normally sufficient if you only intend to do a Private Pilots Licence and have no intention of becoming a professional pilot. This medical can be completed by a specially appointed Aeromedical Examiner (AME) and details of an AME in your area can be had from the Mater Hospital. Remember you must have a medical to apply for a Students Pilots Licence (SPL). Which Course, Integrated or Modular? The Integrated Course is a highly structured and focused course where a student goes from zero flying experience to completion (Frozen ATPL) in just 14 months. To be eligible for this course the candidate must first pass an assessment to ensure that he/she is capable of completing in such a short period of time. Then he/she must be able to commit to training every day, 5 days per week, and adhere to a strict training regime. This course is not always suitable for everyone. The Modular Course is designed for individuals who do not wish to undertake a full time course of study or who wish to "stagger" their training. The course can be completed in seven modules over a period of time which is more suited to the trainee. People who have other commitments and cannot train 5 days every week find this method ideal.
