I've been doing my research for well over a year now on which school to go to.
I would start my path to being a pilot in 2016.
I am 21 this year, Singaporean and currently have GCE O levels, 5 credits which includes English, Maths and Science.
My current options ;
- Take my CPL/IR with Western Australia Avation College (WAAC), WA. Followed by a diploma in Avation and possibly after, take up a Bachelor in Avation (BAv) in Massey, NZ.
PROS : I would have better understanding and experience in practical flying itself before I take up the diploma and bachelor.
CONS : Money and time intensive.
-Another option is to get my foundation studies (one year) and proceed to enrolling in Massey, NZ without any prior experience in flying.
PROS : Quick and relatively cheaper.
CONS : Had some bad reviews on practical flying with the institution.
My ultimate goal is to migrate to Perth Australia, in hopes of getting a
PR. (My sister is a
PR) and fly with a airliner one day but I understand I would have to start out low to build my hours.
As of now, anyone could kindly advice which is a better route? Or if anyone has any advice on any alternative routes/countries/schools?
I personally would wish to obtain a degree in a relevant master as I feel that it would be advantageous in both employment and practise wise.
Thank you so much for your time!
