Central Scotland Training - Opinions & Insights Please!
Hi Guys,
Looking for some advice please!
Firstly, I'm aware there is a similar post doing the rounds from a few years back so apologies for the repetition, just looking for a bit of fresh update.
So, after selling my soul in the corporate world of work in the Middle East, I'm going to be in a position to come home early 2018 to pursue my modular ATPL which has been the dream for a while.
I've narrowed it down to Tayside, or ACS in Perth. My plan is to study full time and intensively, with a view to becoming a FI, and hopefully (eventually) a right hand seat somewhere.
Whats everyones experiences of training at both? Facilities? Fleet? Staff? Employment prospects? ACS have a 'Fast-Track' Program advertised on their website at 50k, although Tayside don't have specific pricing on their website, I spoke to one of their instructors who reckoned their equivalent would cost around 60k. I don't know if he was basing this around minimum hours or training aircraft (ACS is a 152, Tayside a PA28) however any explanation for the 10k price differential would also be superb.
Lastly, I should mention I was working towards a PPL before I left for the ME, so I'm not a total novice. I wont mention where though as I'd like to keep this as impartial as I can!
Cheers guys.
