Hi Boeing Dreamer,
Many thanks for your in depth reply, it has cleared up a lot of confusion. We have looked at a lot of web sites and without exception they all seem quite vague. I understand that none of them can give a definitive price for this training but they could, perhaps, give a minimum price. We have also visited one training organisation in the U.K. (Aero's) and found that to be really usefull as we were given a full tour not only of the class room and briefing facilities but the aircraft and simulator as well, I guess we should go and visit some more and see how they compare.
