I think people should verify from the NCAA first before they embark on any course. The NCAA has the final say. I have people who have RECENTLY had serious probs with putting TR on their NCAA licenses after completing courses at some ot the schools mentioned above. This ended up in more money being spent. Sometimes the excitement of the prospect of a first job can cloud one's judgement. Remember that TRTOs like higher power are just after your money.
NCAA regs are changing, they might not allow private candidates to get type ratings. Also if u r a foreigner there are now new regulations regarding minimum experience levels for capts and f/os. Basically if u r an expat, u should be an EXPERT. No more coming to Nigeria to gain experience, which is the casefor a lot of the expats flying in Nigeria. Expats are supposed to be hired for their expertise.

Caveat emptor!
