Had a look at theiw website, couldn't find any prices.
But I know they are expensive, same league as Flight Safety and Delta Connection.
Why do you want to got to PanAm, why spend such an insane amount of money?
There are plenty of other options for half the price.
You can get your FAA PPL-IR-CPL-ME
at other places with good equipment( or better) for $40,000.
The fact that these big schools spend a fortune on advertising in Europe doesn't mean they are the only ones or the best.
The advantages of these big schools:
They take care of everything;
-Visa
-Housing etc etc.
But you pay through the nose for all of that.
They do nothing extra that you cannot organize on your own and safe a bundle.
You also do not qualify for their Job placement because you are not a US citizen. (I presume)
Nothing personal and I do not want to generalize too much but what worries me about a lot of wannabee's is their lack of research and perseverance.
First school they come across with glossy advertising they go for.
You are about to make a very important career decision here.
Keep it mind that it doesn't matter for a future employer where you did your training.
Flying jets is such a totally different world, they couldn't care less whether you did your MEP on a PanAm Seminole or not.
Feel free to PM if you like more info.
