Keep away

I`ve been out in Fort Pierce for 3 months and its been a nightmare since i got here. The well known company offered a 200 hour, twin time pro course, which they said would take around 3 months to complete. Allegedly, all the students have the same problems, some having flown less than 10 hours in a month. because the planes are always down and there are not enough instructors to do the training, some of the instructors are simply "rushed through" students with no experience at all. Its cost a lot more than if i`d have stayed in Europe to do it too. Apparently it`s a common problem here, they get you out and then you`re stuck here. Think carefully, in my case it`s been an utter con. Now my money is on their account and most days i`m just at the accomodation paying them rent.
