About Orbit Groundschool

Orbit Groundschool is an aviation theory school in Arnhem in the Netherlands, registered with the Dutch CRKBO register of private education institutions. It describes itself as the largest aviation theory training provider in Europe, and its programme covers knowledge training rather than flying. Its theory courses span ATPL for aeroplanes and helicopters, CPL, PPL(A), the IR and the competency-based CBIR, as well as ICAO-to-EASA conversions, ATPL conversion for military pilots and an APS MCC course. Brush-up weeks are offered, and its own students must complete the required brush-ups before sitting EASA exams. Orbit operates an Austro Control exam centre, and states that students of other approved training organisations can sit their EASA exams there too. Listed partners include KLM Aeroclub, Transavia, SAS and Air Astana.
