New ATCO College in the South

[Glamdring]

Peregrine must be good. They can do an ADV course in 7 weeks and an ADI/V in 6 weeks

How does that work?

By adhering strictly to the course requirements, small numbers on a course, enough simulators and maximum simulator time?

Yeah but how can it take 7 weeks to do a Visual AD course but only 6 weeks to both Visual & Instrument?

Another college, the CAA won't know what to do with all the money they're collecting.

No CAA courses advertised on the website and no CAA approvals given as far as the jungle drums say.

A fine ethos but small numbers on courses don't make money and a small number of "instructors" can't cope with larger numbers of customers.

They're going to be very busy chaps (especially the Finance Director).

As Niknak says, although it mentions 'ICAO' frequently, nowhere is there a mention of 'CAA Approved' hence anyone attending might find they have wasted their money if they're after a job in the UK.

It does what it says on the tin

I've had a look at the Peregrine Academy site, it seems sensible to me. why limit to UK CAA licenses?, which require more training than the ICAO, yet Uk licenses are only good for UK/EU market, where there is an abundance of nationally subsidised competition.

These national (CAA) license solutions are disappearing in favour of regional/global qualifications. Deja vu, with JAA and certifications if you ask me, thats all history now! Perhaps thats where ATC Licensing is going too.

Depends on your perspective I guess. This looks like an aviation training facility, not just ATC.

Seems this company has ceased trading.

Seems this company has ceased trading.

Don't they all? If I thought very hard about it I could probably name an "ATC training provider" that has dissappeared for my every year in ATC. They come and go so quickly that I would worry about giving my hard earned money to any of them.

Website seems to have disappeared too.
