How possible it is to get a job as CFI in FS? Are there requirements like passing all exams more than 90% etc? Could you estimate how many % of non-Chinese students get that CFI job offer?
FlightSafety is a safe school, but:

1. Internship positions are extremely limited

2. Internship time-frame is very limited.

3. They are not accredited as college

Why do this, if you can get a lot more flight time and guaranteed advanced internship placement with a third party company, as well as airline employment support in Middle East, S America and SE Asia? Also, if the school is accredited as college, you can transfer academic credits you've earned there, approx 48, to any online university in the US and get a BSc in Aeronautics once you gain another 60 academic credits. You can study and fly as FO, gaining valuable jet time.
