There are any number of professional format CV designs that you can download for free and use in MS Word. I see little point in getting a professional CV prepared. A pilots CV is generally only a 1 pager and your potential employer doesn't want you to cover that precious 1 page with "flowery" words but rather the basics such as when can you start, which school, what ratings, how many hours do you have and on which type, how old are you, male/female etc etc.

My 1 tip would be to make your name prominent at the top (not so big that it looks facetious). The same goes for your contact details including int'l dialing codes, email address etc. I have mine running as a footer. Takes up less space as well.

Search here on pprune as this topic has been covered many many times over the years. Once your happy with your CV avail of a free pdf converter so that when emailing all your hard work is not undone.

I would save your money and put it towards interview prep books (again search on this).

Finally...Did your MCC course give you a question bank of likely interview questions? If not the long running Ryanair interview thread is full of questions asked at interview. I would start copying and pasting those into a document and researching the answers. If you do get called for an interview it is better to be prepared as typically they are short notice.
