peterc005 - The objective of pre CPL VFR training has nothing to do with multi engine handling and training. The benefit of added exposure to multi engine flying during this stage of training is negligible. All it will teach you is how to burn a larger hole in Mum and Dad's pocket.
Spending $300p/hr more to do this pre-CPL stage is useless and won't get you to an airline or regional any faster than the fella training in a C182 or Arrow.
Let's walk before we run.
