Mt Aspiring College, Wanaka NZ offered an integrated flight-training option as part of their senior curriculum, training to PPL with prep towards CPL I think. Used to be through Aspiring Air at NZWF, not sure if it still is. Excellent outdoor education facilities offered at the same place.

The Armidale School (TAS)
Possibly Scone Grammar
I am studying at Air Centre (http://www.aircentre.com/) In Albury NSW Aust., they have a good school, instructors who give a damn and, they do not overcharge.:ok:
I don't know what a PPL costs but a CPL MECIR with Adv. Dip. Av. costs around $40K.;)
...or you could buy one at a capital city sausage factory for $100K!:yuk:
PM me for details or www.aircentre.com (http://www.aircentre.com)

ABX mate do you have a contract with said company for your training with that specific number (40k) on it? The reason I ask is that it seems very cheap for both CPL and MECIR. It cost me around 70k to do both some time ago although I did not do it at the cheapest schools/aircraft by a long shot and it did include extras such as aeros, taildragger etc. 40k for a CPL only seems more likely.

corowa,
Mate, first thing is: the name "corowacomet" are you from Corowa NSW?
Second thing is: here is a link to their prices (http://www.aircentre.com/cpltraining.html), scroll down til you see the table with the costs.
Third thing is: in my post above, I said,
I don't know what a PPL costs but a CPL MECIR with Adv. Dip. Av. costs around $40K.;)
The quoted price as per the web site is $41 100:ok:
Contact Darren Fuller on +61 260 21 29 29

Ps. I was quoted up to $110K in MEL:yuk:

Don't take offence at my question mate I wasn't calling you a liar but it does seem a little on the cheap side......could be done I guess but it would be interesting to see the cost break down.
And in answer to your question re:Corowa, No!

Gudday The Comet,
No offense taken mate.:ok:
If you contact them they will send you a break down of the costs and a course program.
Cheers,
