I believe however that anywhere you go in the world requires you to all ready be trained as a commercial pilot before you undertake FE training?
There are plenty of ex Flight Engineers doing other things due to the lack of FE positions so you better think of another scheme.
And there is a world of difference between a Flight Engineer and a pilot sitting in the FE seat ;-)
