Peeps. What are you on about "give Astraeus a rest"?
No one is knocking Astraeus as far as I can see - just trying to obtain information on how successful people who have handed over hard earned money to them have been in obtaining jobs with either Astraeus or anyone else.
Seems like a perfectly reasonable question to me.
I have no doubt Astraeus are a "decent" outfit and fully understand that they need to make money. That doesn't make it wrong to try to obtain more information from them before "investing" in a type rating.
Finally, I would find it odd if they did not know of the success of their graduates. How much effort would be involved in keeping in touch with them after they have finished the course? There are not exactly hundreds of self sponsored people that Astraeus have handled.
All this thread is trying to do is find out how many people have been successful / unsuccessful. Lets stick to this aim.
