You can do yourself a lot of favour by going to DCA and check the list of flying schools approved by them plus all other requirements. Of course it helps the country and do well with the govt. policy to encourage locals to go to MFA for training but at what price ? If you can complete the flying in Australia in ten months or so, why shud you risk venturing into unknown territory ? I hope MFA has improved in keeping up with time frame for completing courses ( of course unless the students themselves are weak and unable to cope up with the syllabus ! ). From various old feedbacks that I've got, they have somehow or rather (almost all the time) ended up being late in graduating students due to other reasons eg; logistic, a/c & instructors shortage etc,etc. That was the time when everybody wants to be a pilot and jobs are abundant. I'm not sure about now though. Pay DCA a visit and I'm very sure they will be able to help. Gud Luck my friend !!
