Was about to start a thread on just this subject, but I may as well use this one!
Like others, I never did Maths or Physics in my year 12. Regretting it now of course (and not just because of the QLink, Skywest/VA, etc programs). I would like to cover both of these subjects properly and actually learn the content rather than just pass the test!
My questions are: Have any guys from Melbourne had a good experience with the correspondence courses, and which of the Qlink approved courses would you recommend?
Were you able to complete the course without help? And in what time frame?
(leading to...) Has anyone used a tutor or mentor in the Melbourne area and could recommend one to me? PM is Ok.
My priority is the Maths, however I would also like to do bridging Physics at a later stage. I know Qantas used to require it but it isn't listed now, and there used to be a list of approved Physics courses along with the Maths one. Does anyone have a copy of that list still?
I know Dr Holding has a great reputation but I just can't afford to leave work and pay for accommodation interstate for the duration of the course(s)! However, if the outcome is really that highly recommended, I could try to save some cash and get the time off work, but on the award I don't have much left after paying back some of my flying debts.
Lastly, and a real shot in the dark, but are there any Melbourne based Qlink pilots who could give me any additional information about the application and expectations (save for the information already available publicly of course, I'm not asking people to go to the website for me)?
Thanks for any help you can give me!
