AYR521,
The £1000 pre-selection course is to let wannabee's know if it worth spending their money on a type rating. It is a proper airline selection day, and , unlike most airline selection days, you get full feedback on how the day went.
We set this up so that we could assure people who wanted to invest in their own type-rating that they had a high probability of getting through the course. If you need more details , feel free to drop me an e-mail.
