CAE/OAA Graduate Type Rating
I worked first and earned it. My collegues included it in the loan for the ab initio training, but the banks are a lot more reluctant nowadays to provide loans.
Q2: very uncommon, maybe some sponsorships, but I don't lnow where. Tip: search function.
Wouldn't it have been smarter to have this figured out before starting training? It's not that this must be new for you...
