what does she mean?
(ibasically asked the same question to a school in SA, this is the reply i got)
Yes you could come to SA having done all the theory and exams (but no they would not be recognized here I’m afraid)
But if the point is to get a UK licence than that does not really matter – as you would want to get your actual licence in the UK and not SA.
If you completed your licence here, so getting an SA ICAO Licence – then you would have to rewrite exams in order to Convert it to a UK licemce anyway.
So the point is to only do the hours here, then complete the exams back in the UK – so getting a UK JAA/JAR Licence, and avoiding having to write the exams twice.
