Mr Magoo,
Hows it going. I know someone who did the Emerald type rating three months ago. Four of the people on the course, one went straight to BAC and another went to Aulringhy, the two that were left are in the holding pool for Emerald and have been told they both have jobs..... Only problem is these jobs have yet to materialise, they keep being told maybe next week or the one after. At the end of the day it would seem that it works for some and not for others, just be aware there are no guarantees of a job at the end and the hold pool is already growing for very few jobs.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
