Hello Andy_13
Norwegian Aviation College is a good place to do your ab-initio training if you can afford it. The school is a serious outfit with good instructors and a fleet of aircraft which suits their operation in northern Norway well. The ATPL theory syllabus is also extensively covered and the students are well prepared for the exams.
There are students from Australia, Denmark, Italy and Sweden but the main group of students are norwegians.
Please bear in mind that the school is situated in Bardufoss, a small place in northern Norway which is dominated by military presence. It's a long way back to civilization
Also consider the fact that Norway is an expensive country to live in, so plan for contingency when setting up a budget, then add some more and you will probably get an idea of how much you have to fork out.
If you have any questions you can give them a call during office hours - or PM me. Just remember that here are no such thing as objective views or answers in this business...
