thats correct, sierra academy are an FAA only school, but they do pay through your internship, so the effect is that the cost of training is very low in comparison with UK. i would think that anyone who could commit to the duration of an internship there and then come back to convert to JAA licensing; would find it very cost effective, especially when combined with all the multi hours / pic and unfrozen atpl that you would gain in such a short time.
