Hi there,

I'm 16 at the moment and was in talks with EFT about their course. It seems unreal that you will have 1500 hours at the end of the course, surely this must mean you are more experienced, and from what i have heard from people on pprune is that experience is highly regarded in terms of employment with airliners. However, with most other FTO's, you will end up with probably 225 hours average, hence with EFT you are getting about 6 times the number of hours. However, what i am unsure about is: is the 18 months just for the flight instructor training, or does this period include time for all of your other qualifications such as CPL/IR etc?

Regards,

Arpan
