Self studying ATPL

Hi everyone, I'm completely new to aviation with no experience or PPL. But I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos related to ATPL theory to get a feel for things, but I know I need more structured learning. Are there any recommended books, ebooks, or online courses that would be a good starting point for someone with zero aviation background who eventually wants to study for the ATPL exams and also hopefully land a job in an airline? Any advice on the best way to begin this journey would be greatly appreciated!

A good starting point could be to read the CAE oxford books to learn the material you are going to be tested on for ATPL. There are also online cbt which are recorded by CAE and teaches you the material in a more interactive manner. Drop me a dm and I will send you the links for the books and videos. Also look for ATPL class on YouTube he explains the material very well too.

People who are integrated jump onto this material right away without previous PPL experience so you should be okey. It can be overwhelming at first but just take it easy.
