I’m very sorry, I didn’t mean to mislead. One can indeed find a 355 around 1,000 GBP; Severn Aviation charge 1300 + vat = 1,527 (that’s vat at 17.5%) GBP for a 355 type rating course. I just thought it was a very good price and an excellent course. I knew there was a reason why I didn’t use this site!
