Might wanna think carefully about how you go to Algonquin Flight School now that the so called "Canadian Aviation Academy" (an Irish recruitment agency) are involved with the school. A serious number of complaints from former students about these guys....http://www.pprune.org/professional-p...n-academy.html
Its also worth bearing in mind that these guys regularly plant stories on this forum that try to paint a very rosy picture of things when they are anything but.
Mr. White, I have a few questions for you- how many students have graduated , how many have secured work through the Canadian Aviation Academy, and why are students waiting around for the last six months to finish their training because there isn't a twin engine plane available? How many planes are online now between how many students? Also to correct you, the school is not Irish owned, rather they have a minority share. I await your answers Sir.
Try contacting the school directly for a quote. Algonquin Flight Centre - Welcome
Notice if you click on the foreign students link it takes away from the AFC homepage and to the Canadian Avaition Academys where they are charging double what it would cost if you went to AFC directly. It's your call, just make sure you have all the facts...
