:= I concur, It might be brilliant however, If you're considering it I'd get in touch with EAAPTS and prehaps some major schools in the UK and find out if they've heard of it.
Hi ppl152
I've seen the website and it doesn't look too pro. However, there is a contact number address at the very bottom of the page. Try calling and, as suggested, do some background checks. :ok:

Said website has been running for a number of years now. Same content by the looks of it too. Wierd.

I have had a little dig about them, as it seems a good scheme, and as said, if it seems to go to be true, which in parts it does, then its may well be one of those scams that crop up from time to time.
I rang the number, no answer,
The address linked to the domain is
Training and Leisure Consultants Ltd
Reeds
The Street
Benenden
Cranbrook, Kent TN17 4DB
UK
The Address on the website is the same...
The domain was created in late 2005, 6th Dec 2005...
So suppose it adds up so far...
There seems to be a similar website from them...
http://www.plane-speaking.com/about.html
this website has the same address as above on the page but its registered too...

Staplehurst Road
Frittenden, Kent TN17 2EA

This domain was created in late 2002, so thats what they say, they have been going some years, and they have, four...

Sorry...
I missed out

another offspring of the company, but another address... This one is in Henfield...
Even if they are legit, I don't think what they offer is particularly special. Reason-being you get you ME/IR stuck onto the end thus limiting your ME time potential. Not a good thing.
Being guaranteed a FI job isn't bad I suppose if you want to be a FI, but it would appear that airlines rarely recruit FIs as much as they used to and, furthermore, why would they recruit a FI with minimum ME time? And are the 1500 hours guaranteed?
After all, you are paying for you training. It's not a sponsorship!
Well, that's my interpretation anyway :)

If you can bring more info about it... more than welcome.
It still looks suspicious to me but.
