Agreement The undersigned student agrees to accept the following terms and conditions for the theory course.
Course fees Course fees are payable prior to the commencement of the course.
Confidentiality
Depending on how the course is delivered, the student may be
given an access code to the e-learning platform. This access is personal
and must not be passed on or made available to third parties.
Course material
The course material, whether in book form, on videos or online,
is supplied in the most up-to-date version. The flight achool accepts no
liability for defects or errors in content. The flight achool is not
liable for events that occur due to faulty course material, faulty
interpretation of the same or faulty instruction.
Technical requirements
If an e-learning account is opened for the theory course,
knowledge of computer operation, functioning Internet access and an
e-mail address are required. The flight achool will ensure that
uninterrupted access to the e-learning platform is guaranteed as far as
humanly possible. The maintenance and operation of the e-learning
platform is provided by third parties on behalf of the flight achool.
The e-learning platform is Internet-based and functions on the
customer's side on all common operating systems. The flight achool
accepts no responsibility for the correct functioning of Internet
access, learning aids offered via the e-learning platform or for the
automatic evaluation of online tests. Furthermore, the flight achool is
not responsible for incompatibilities of the student's hardware and
software equipment with the e-learning platform. In particular, the
proper functioning of the e-learning platform cannot be guaranteed with
all versions of Internet browsers. The use of an up-to-date Internet
browser is strongly recommended.
Course duration Access is valid until completion of the theoretical examination,
but for a maximum of 1 year. Thereafter, this training agreement expires
and the student must re-enrol and pay the course fee again to complete
the course. In any case, an extension of the course duration is only
possible within the time limits set by the authority.
Attendance at courses The student undertakes to attend the course completely and
without gaps in accordance with the legal guidelines (Training Record).
This applies both to the lessons in the classroom and to the Distance
Learning Seminars. All lessons, self-study lessons and seminars arranged
by the flight school form an integral part of the course.
Progress monitoring Progress is monitored by means of tests via the e-learning
platform or by tests in class. If the student does not achieve the
minimum score required to pass the tests, they will be repeated after
further study of the material. If there are any uncertainties or
questions, instructors are available via e-mail, online forum or via
chat to answer questions. In the event of problems, the student accepts
the measures taken by the subject instructor to close the gaps in
knowledge. He/she fulfils the tasks assigned to him/her completely and
on time. If these measures do not lead to success, further steps can be
agreed in consultation with the student and the Chief Theoretical
Knowledge Instructor (CTKI). This may take the form of private tutoring
with a specialist instructor, for example. The cost of such escalation
will be borne by the student.
Classroom course The studentattends classroom instruction at a SwissPSA flight school. The SwissPSA school is responsible for organising and conducting the theory course.
Theoretical examination
The flight school internal final exam will take place after the
completion of the classroom instruction. The student accepts that he/she will
not be admitted to the Federal Office of Civil Aviation theoretical
examination until he/she has passed the final examination in full. The
final examination is passed if the studenthas answered at least 75%
correctly. If the preliminary examination is taken outside the regular
dates for scheduling reasons, the studentwill incur corresponding
additional costs.
Disagreements
If the student does not agree or is dissatisfied with a decision
or procedure of a Technical Instructor, he/she may contact the Chief
Theoretical Knowledge Instructor (CTKI) of the Flight School. The CTKI will
decide on the further course of action after consultation with the
instructor.
Course termination
If the student drops out of the course, he/she is not entitled to
a refund of the course fees. The course must be cancelled in writing to
the Chief Theoretical Knowledge Instructor of the flight school (ctki@swisspsa.ch).
