OZ ATPL training & conversion to JAA
I am currently investigating the possibility of completing an Australian ATPL, followed by a conversion course to JAA.
The course I am looking into is carried out at the BAE training centre in Adelaide and lasts for approximately 40 weeks.
Total cost looks to be in the region of £28000, as quoted by the marketing department. The centre is used by all the major airlines in OZ, SA, China etc and was previously a provider for BA.
I would then complete a conversion course costing approximately £15000 at Oxford, which lasts approx 24weeks.
Overall, I see this as a good package, taking little longer than a conventional integrated course, at a lower cost and with the added benefit of an additional ATPL on the CV.
What I would like to know is whether anyone else has followed this route, and if so how they found it and whether they thought it had benefited\ or disadvantaged them.
