A few days ago I received a mail from someone who was considering enrolling on the Cabair integrated course.
I gave him my very considered views, since I am an ex-EPTA/CABAIR tutor. This was his reply to me...........
Thanks - a few things I've found out in case you're interested
For the course I'm looking for (CPL through to fATPL) they have quoted £34000 which is paid in 2 halves up front then later on. That alone has got my alarm bells ringing as I want to pay by card in £3000 chunks.
It's as much sim time as the regs allow and all the quotes were the minimum possible hour etc so not realistic.
One of the guys from the selection day at Man has an unusual name so with the aid of google it turns out he was the MD with a bathroom company until very recently and suddenly claims to have been a pilot so doesn't ring true. He's in pics at the industry awards for that trade that my old company used to go to so it is the right guy.
He also appeared at the top of the search on a site where women post details of cheating men. Lo and behold more pics of the guy and some of the women say he claims to have been X, Y, Z and a pilot but one woman outed him as 'he just works for a pilot training college'......
Something major doesn't add up so my cash will be going to a different school vouched for by word of mouth from 3 separate people that's local to me in the NW.
Thanks for your reply - just hope other people don't get suckered in.
Go on then punters - stick your money with this outfit!!!!
