hi ( wow new to this forum stuff) hope someone can supply soem honest advice !!
I had to pullout of a fulltiem triaing course in Jerez 10 years ago (family ill etc) and 42 now/ Still got the desire to do it and just renewed class 1 medical .
I woudl also be giving up work/salary as a surveyor !!!!
I went to the recent Training seminar in london But was advised :-.
Oxford - past 36 yrs old theycould not get me a job anywhere
CtC were a bit less abrupt and advised it was possible to get employment and they had a trainee who was over 40 currently !
(but first child on the way tho and not sure aboutgoing to new zealand for 7 months!!)
The CFI at my local flying school said dont do it full time and do it modular as it leades to same qualification and i can keep working part time!!
and got Gloucester aeros and bristopl ground school nearby

My concern is that it may take longer and i wont be back in the classroom which i think would be better for me!

Could anyone advise if they know of anyone over 40 who has completed fulltime school or done it modular etc ? thanks
