i have some friends who went to fte jerez and pilot training college. they didnt reccomend it, u gonna end up with 250 hours ++ , and if ure not top of the class always and fail on some ir or something like that, u will have hard time coming into airline. and its so overprized, around 80k£.

this is my story, i landed a job 2 months after i was done. i did my training at phoenix east aviation in Florida, and they offer a j1 visa (good for 2 years)
.i got ppl,ir,cpl/me, cfi, cfii , mei. i was finish with my faa cpl after 7 months, and the rest i used on timebuilding and got my instructor certfikates. after 2 years, i have 1200 hours of flying, 500 multi engine. and once i was finish in the states, i went back to my home country Norway, i did my jaa conversion in 4 months. and passed on all first attempts. and now i landed a job in Qatar Airways, i applied in january, and passed their interview in february, and in july i will begin line training.

in america i spent around 70k$ , and in norway i spent around 22k$. compare to fte and other uk schools, this is cheap and much more hours on youre paper. and the training is top of the line with alot of european flight instructors who are well experienced.
