Haven't heard of them before.
I know I'm always picky about this but the use of the English language on that site is rather sloppy. Should give you a good indication as to their professionalism. Mind you CaFalconAviation hasn't got the best website in the world either and they are semi-decent.

Hi Alexander, perhaps you’re thinking of one of these 2:
http://pilotschemea320andb737.********.co.uk/ (195 euros up front).
http://a320and737linetraining.********.co.uk/ (119 euros up front).
The linetraining.net A320 type rating does seem a good price 22,500 euros for groundschool, sim, base check, transport and accommodation in Rome is low compared to many in Europe and they do want all money transferred to them before the course starts. That alone would start alarm bells ringing in my head (but I am rather cynical by nature).
I am not passionately pro or anti self funded ratings and/ or hours on type but I would hate to see someone lose a huge sum of money.

Guys,
I just want to know if this company is legitimate or not. I'm in touch with them to do a Type Rating.
According to their website you must pay the full amount before starting the course (7days) prior. Read below:
Payment Schedule:
Enrollment: 3.200,00 Euro - 20% of Simulator price 16.000,00 Euros - In order to receive the course materials
Final Fee: 19.300,00 Euro - 7 business days prior to course start
My last type rating I did, (very reputable TRTO) few years ago I didn't pay the full amount. I made half at the beginning of the course, and the remaining at the end of type rating course.
It is strange they ask for all the money before starting the course.
Has anyone gone through this company. Are they trustworthy!!
Thank you

Remember the golden rules:
If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
NEVER PAY ANYTHING UPFRONT!
Any serious business will be able to have a pay as you go scheme. Once the money is transferred and the paper is signed you're worth jack s... any complaints will cause you trouble and if you don't have the guts to make such a deal with this much on stake, the aviation market is probably nothing for you.

Hi All, maybe this will help....I have did my MCC with oxford-ryanair, they have asked me all the money upfront! :-)
I did the type rating with linetraining.net, they asked me upfront, I thought...a big risk
....but finally, everything went fine, well done type rating and experienced instructor. I have choose them because I had the opportunity to met them before start my training as they are based in my same country, Italy.

You are fools to do this, I mean why?
You want it as hobby to fly a jet? 500 hours will NOT get you a job! Well maybe get 1 of 1000 a job, you feeling lucky?

Hi guys!
I just say one thing... I did my first A320 type rating on April with them in Rome and all stuffs gone great!Like you, I was not sure before the start of the course but then I met the organizers and I was surspised for the good organization of theory and sim sessions. I had as TRI the old chief pilot of TAP and good airline pilot for theory.
Is not easy to pay someone you don't know but it is a good trto! Go with them!

I did only type rating, cause mine was the first course organized by linetraining.net....Now I have to give way to the students who pay for the whole package! but probably in the near future i'll pay for a line training..
Unfortunely guys with type only we can't fly, nowadays airlines asking for 500 hrs on type...
