I think you mean the NPPL (National Private Pilot's Licence) & full PPL. The NPPL is a recreational pilots licence, allowing flight in a light aircraft (of less than 2000KG) in UK airspace. It requires less hours (minimum 32 hours against 45 hours for the PPL) so should work out cheaper than a full PPL. Note that this is a minimum requirement & it could take considerably longer depending on aptitude & how regularly you have lessons. This will give you some idea of the difference. http://www.abbasair.com/flyingnppl.html
