Hi,
So I know this has probably been discussed many times before somewhere in the masses of threads, but it would be great if someone could enlighten me....
So I have been offered a place on CTC wings ATPL course, I'm due to start in January.
I just wanted to find out from past/recent CTC Wings ATPL cadets
1) What you’re experience is and if you have found a job once graduating from training?
I have heard a lot of various things and I am contemplating whether to go ahead with training, as I know it is a huge sum of money to pay.
2) How many people from the hold pool get a job after graduating and what is the turn around time? CTC say they have a 98% placement rate but of course this is probably not how many people actually get employed after training, must be how many people get interviews for a job right!!!
I’m sure ill have loads more to ask but this is all I can think of at the moment.
But having read this document I do feel a little stressed out on if I should actually pursue a career in it.

Before I leave, a bit about myself. I am 24 a civil engineer in the rail sector, which is big and has no shortages of jobs. My dream has been to fly of course otherwise I wouldn't be posting here. But I am contemplating if the risk is worth my dream career knowing I could end up without a job and in debt. My parents have agreed to be my guarantor to sponsor my training.
Any help advice is much appreciated
