Western Australian Aviation College (WAAC)

Further to a recent question I posted recently.

I have been contacted by a representative from the Western Australian Aviation College in Perth. They are offering JAA integrated ATPL courses at a significantly cheaper price than some of the English based schools. Having searched the forums there doesn’t seem to be a deal of recent information regarding them.

Personally only having a brief opportunity to look at there web site and the few bits I have read, it doesn’t look too bad. They seem to be tied in with Cranfield.

What I am still unsure of is, after obtaining a class one medical, do I then hand over the cash, fly to Australia, sit the 57 week course having no previous flying experience and leave with a frozen ATPL, ready to apply for jobs in the UK?

Do I then have to factor in living expenses?

How would UK employers view this type of approach?

Thanks again.
