How easy to convert Australian Lic to UK?
I've spent many hours searching for commercial courses in the UK & Australia. I still can't decipher how realistic it would be to apply Australian qualifications to the UK. If anyone has got any advice, please feel free to help.
Firstly, if I came away from Australia with a CASA licence, what would be the financial and practical costs of converting this to a JAA licence?.
I have looked at the Western Australian Aviation College and know their fees are approx £45k for a Uk JAA licence.
The question really is, if I added together the cost of a CASA course and then converting it to JAA, would it be financially more beneficial or am I better to pay for the WAAC course in the first place?.
If I took the CASA course I would have the option of staying in Australia (I have residents visa) but I don't want to make it impossible or difficult to come back to the UK and get the JAA. I did hear that if you have the JAA its easier to get that turned into a CASA than vice-versa (but that was WAAC who told me, so I'm cautious)
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
