In their info pack it says they dont just train you to pass the various tests but they instill the required values & standards to help achieve your dream of an airline career. Many of the Instructors are either current or recent airline pilots who know what is required to enter & stay in the industry. They have a large fleet of aircraft so getting a plane is not normally a problem & they are going to be the launch FTO for the new Diamond DA24 twins apparently. I did my PPL & IR there a few years ago when it was basically a flying club that did a bit of IR traininhg but the place has grown into a very well run & efficient Commercial flight training centre with very good pass rates. The tie in with Astraeus to provide zero hours - B737 rating & 100hours on line is causing quite a stir in the industry & I know lots of people who are considering it as a viable option. Best advice is go down there for a visit & talk to the students who are actually doing the training there, Good Luck!
