If I am enrolled in a class, when should I purchase flight tickets or make specific travel arrangements?

When making travel plans, plan your arrival on the Saturday or Sunday prior to the class start date. You will be able to enter the Sheffield-provided housing on those days, but probably not earlier due to the time needed to clean and arrange everything for the upcoming class. Plan your departure from Sheffield at least 3-5 days following the last day of the class. There is a limit of the number of practical examinations given each day – not everyone can complete the class, have their exam within 24 hours, then leave. If you’re enrolled in the extra workshops (AIFP, ETOPS, or EWINS), you should plan to depart by the day following your last class day.
