I wouldn’t take the ryanair mentored program that serious. There is no difference in anything other than the apsmcc with ryr SOPs being part of it. ppl cpl me ir etc all identical to the ‘regular’ program. At least this was the case last year.
In the end the vast majority gets invited to the ryanair assessment, regardless of the flightschool etc. Age seems to be the hardest criteria to pass on.
Perform satisfactory on the assessment, bring the 30k and you’re settled.
sure Bartolini is a good quality for money school, but certainly not the only one in Europe. Spain, Greece, Poland they all have schools that offer quality courses for a good price. At the end of my trip I discovered that it doesn’t really matter that much. Especially if ryanair is the goal…
So I would advise to go to a place that you feel comfortable with and don’t get sidetracked by the labelling and marketing
