I went to Simtech and as stated above dont base your decision on possible contacts but more on the quality of the training provided. I myself would recommend Simtech as they offered a great course with a good emphasis on the ground school portion of the course , Which I sometimes feel Is overlooked. Sim wise it was brilliant. Excellent instructors who gave thorough briefings and really made the most of the time you had in the sim. Downsides well I didn't have any and I know in excess of five others who have also had similar experiences. As Stated though nobody will guarantee you a job so take it with a pinch of salt.....
