Training in Australia

Hi everybody,

i'm from the Netherlands.
Next year i want to do a CPL-H course in Australia.
Being this far away it's pretty hard to get a good idea what school is best to train at.
Looking around on the internet i found 2 schools that stood out:
- Becker Helicopters
- PHS
I wrote both schools an email, explaining that i was interested in enrolling in their course.
Got a very nice and informative mail back from Becker, and a somewhat shorter mail from PHS.
Fact is that PHS is alot cheaper for overseas students then PHS.
What i'm curious about is what the difference in training and career prospects after graduation is at both schools.

Also found Chopperline, Blue Tongue, Helicopter group and Bankstown Helicopters thanks to the search engine of the forum.
Gonna look into them next.
But anyone who has an opinion about the schools mentioned above, please write something down.
Because of the Visa i have to make a decision on where to go before i get in the plane, so i can't visit the schools and make a choice based upon my own experience.

Thanks in advance for your trouble!
