A non-defined course end date that keeps moving due to weather gets quite costly. Extentions on accomocation, living expenses - if you were expecting to be done in 15 months - all get blown out.

If your relative must definitelty come to Melbourne, I trained at CAE and can only speak for my experience there; you're free to message me.

Goodluck
Many thanks for the info on the whole VIC Flight Training scene. Any schools you’d recommend in WA or QLD ?
