My question is what would you do and what is a better way to spend your money, for a full JAA IR rating course.

Bond has the multi engine ec135 course which cost a lot of money. You will do a lot of training on a full motion sim which can safe time in comparison to a real helicopter. (is it easy to load different wind conditions etc, and you can practice more on the things you find hard)

And bristows has the single engine bell course which is slightly cheaper, here you fly more in a real helicopter instead of a sim.

Is it just personal which one you choose or has one a big advantage over the other?

If you now for example go to CHC and two exactly the same persons apply for a job and one had a bond IR paper and the other one a bristows.

Do you think it would matter, or not? (I know bristow will get a multi engine in the future as well)

Hopefully someone can give me usefull information about it
