My advise is you look in the yellow pages and visit all the flying schools in your area. Believe me there are plenty in Melbourne. You are the best judge of who to learn to fly with. The best bet is pick one close to you with reasonable rates and a instructor who actually cares about your progress................and not just how many hours they have in there log book or what aircraft Virgin or Qantas are buying next......................... AND DON’T PAY IN ADVANCE PAY AS YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you do an hours flying pay for an hour. Don’t hand over $10,000 to someone you met yesterday, even if it is a university or a TAFE college.
