Type Rating Costs
Hello All,
I'm now seriously looking at my training options (going modular) as I believe I now have the money to start.
Something I've just thought about though is the cost of a Type Rating. I spoke to someone at JetTraining who told me their A320 and B737 NG course costs £12,400 + VAT for ground school and sim, and 6600EUR (inclusive of VAT) for the 6 take offs and landings in the aircraft.
This equates to approximately £21,000 all told. Whilst I was speaking to the gentleman on the phone, he told me that if I was looking to apply to Ryanair (which I guess is where the majority start), not to do my TR and instead do it through Ryanair as they wouldn't touch me if I already held a type rating.
On a bit of further investigation, I found OAA do the Ryanair type rating course at a cost of nearly £32,000!
This is pretty much the same cost as the modular course I want to do, and I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas or tips etc that may help me save money?
Thank you
