Hi Daniel,
Alpha has courses beginning each month. I enrolled for the one starting on September 29th. I just had my tests and interview during the week after August 20th.
So far I have passed and I have a final
Discussion with alpha training department tomorrow morning.
The cost I believe is 550,000AED. To be paid in 4 installments during the course.
Also I believe holding any pilots license will not give you any benefit.
