you can do both at WAAC but not at the same time as the requirements for each are a gulf apart!

if you intend to return to UK or Europe, dont bother with CASA CPL as its useless. If you hope to eventually settle in australia, dont bother with JAA as it is useless. Although all these schools and authorities boast about being part of ICAO and having similar agreements, there are only 2 licences that are recognised in a different country: CASA in NZ and FAA in Canada and even then you have to do conversion exams.

Im from liverpool (just down the road) And hold CASA and FAA. Currently living in australia but unless i get 2000hours or settle for chasing cows out west, no work here!!!

Stick to JAA. At least on completion, if you have a spare 17000 quid you can go self sponsered for Jet2. (757)

happy flying
