Unless you have the right to work in USA and Europe there is no point in getting both FAA and EASA and spend all the extra money. Also if you are new to this industry DO NOT pay large sums of money upfront to any flight school because they might go out of the business and you will lose all the money you paid.

There are some other threads on Epic, see below. But as Skipname says, if you don't have the right to work in USA or Europe, no need to have both since it will be a waste of money. In your case, the question is whether a FAA or JAA licence will give you an edge afterwards over those who have only a ICAO license as issued by other countries in Africa (e.g. South Africa), Middle East or Asia. If you think so, then either do a FAA in USA or JAA in Europe. As for whether Epic is good or not, I don't have enough information on it except what I can read on its website.
