As I can see they aren't JAA FTO, they just offer conversion to JAA probably through their contacts with JAA school in Europe...

All I can say is that seems a very poor choice of name :E

Does Not appear to be a JAA licence just FAA licence that you have to convert. Notice it says on the website:

JAA Conversion:
Epic Aviation has an agreement with a flight academy in Europe to conduct your JAA Conversion. This will include your Frozen ATPL Written Exam, and CPL Check ride. Study Materials will be issued while at Epic.
**Cost of Conversion not included in guaranteed price.

So you need to allow for conversion, both time, effort and cost!
Consider a JAA Approved School.

I was just checking this thread from a while back. No, they do not provide JAA training, but because the FAA is also ICAO the conversion is way cost effective. You want to talk about Time and Cost effectiveness? the FAA training at Epic takes 6 months. The JAA training in the UK takes 18-24 months and costs 3-4 times more than Epic's training. The conversion, which takes maybe 3 months only costs about $12,000 USD. You're saving a lot by doing FAA and then converting to JAA, a lot of time AND money.

Epic do not offer JAA. I got my FAA CSEL and CMEL IR there in 6 months. Im converting to JAA via Bristol at the minute which is much more intense than FAA. I heard Epic lost alot of their fleet and have been making cut-backs. They did however get a new seminole glass cockpit. The instructors are good and the cost is more appealing than in Europe. If I had to make the decision again however I would have done everything but my timebuilding in Europe no matter what the cost was. Much less hassle.

[gotroni]

You would? I did all my JAA ratings in Europe and then converted them to FAA. I spent way too much money. The other way around is so much cheaper. I understand the hassle though. Converting a license is always a hassle, but think about the $30,000+ you could be saving by doing a little bit of research and finding the right way of converting. Seems to me it's worth it.
Good luck at Bristol, have heard good things.

[Fitnesspilot737]

Yeah honestly I think I would. I have to do at least 15 hrs here for my IR anyhow and retake the CPL which I will need more training for as I have almost forgotten how to bloody fly. Then there is the MCC course which is pretty much standard these days. In retrospect the total of all of this plus the FAA licence pretty much evens out to training in Europe. Saying that I know some places in Europe are so so expensive. I guess going the JAA route and then converting to FAA is going to be much more expensive. One thing for sure....FAA is much easier than JAA when it comes to written papers

Also planning to go to EPIC but unfortunately have only received automatic replies from them.

Question off topic:
Could anybody pls provide or explain the FAA syllabus for the Inst/Comm written exams?
