And to answer YOUR questions, yes.

There was a thread on Kapiti Aero Club about a month ago, try using the search feature to get a far more informative thread about YOUR question than this one is rapidly turning into.

It's a hard thing for a prospective student to assess the quality of a course without having done it, but I went there for about three years for my first job (instructing and the occasional charter), flew everything they had and absolutely loved it. They have dedicated (and VERY experienced) fixed-wing and rotary instructors, aerobatics, tailwheels, work on the other side of graduation and a good club as well as the fulltime students. If you live in the Wellington region and can live at home and save pennies, I'd say do that.

Have you been out to see what IS there? How long it takes to get a booking? Talking to people face to face is another good way to find things out, as long as they answer YOUR questions, not give you answers purely to promote themselves.

Enjoy the search.
