Adam, are you familiar with exactly what licence is what ie CPL, ATPL, and the utterly non-existent 'rrozen ATPL'? I posted a primer to this quite a long time ago. It's one of the sticky topics in the Wannabes forum. It might be useful to you.
No school in Oz can give you an ATPL**. They *ALL* train you for a CPL + IR (and possibly ATPL theory). Once that's done, the marketing dickheads then have the gall to market this as a frozen ATPL, as if what they offer is somehow different to gaining a CPL+IR+ATPL theory from any other school, or combination of schools.
Also note that Oz has made getting an ATPL more difficult than it used to be, with added requirements for additional training courses and a flight test.
**with a caveat: They could offer some form of employment after training that causes you to accrue hours towards the ATPL minimum. No guarantee of employment though *and* you should expect to receive at least the award pay rate. You should not be paying to work for some company. Those that expect some salary sacrifice or you pay to fly (because you are 'gaining experience') are scum and just using you to bolster the owner's profits.
