Sorry cant help Greensman.
An email from CAE regarding Dash-8 type rating course:
An Standard Type Rating Course costs 24,000€ per trainee but depending on your curriculum and expertise, some Entry Level Training could be required or Remedial training after the course (aprox. extra 2,000€-4,000€)
That sounds like a type rating cost for a Boeing or an Airbus as I would have immagined there is a reasonable difference in price between a turboprop a jet rating course.
Anyway, have to put it this way, where is the cheapest place one can get a Dash-8 rating? (I dont believe cheapest is always the worst, sometimes can be better) But money is an issue for me obviously. Thanks.
