I also passed the online assessment back in February and got the new email from AFA. In the last one there was a section of ATPL questions pulled straight from the question bank, I got some random ones about IATA and the Warsaw Convention.

Well TBH i dont think its about new regulations. Its about "if we can get another 55€ for free, why not". Multiply this 55€ and than 350 € by x and u will get a nice sum of money. Than u will get training for 30k€ which is essentially worth no more than 15k€ as as i understand during LT u fly for free... but u will pay 30k so another 15 free from nothing. Than... they can always say expansion delayed sorry, and after a year or so... do not accept rated pilots again, and u are

well....it is about a new regulation.
I did the extra test and it’s literally just a personality test where you just choose which statement describes you best.
oh I'm sorry to tell you, there wasn’t any extra charge for this additional test.

Judging by this thread they could charge €70,000 for the course that was €5,000 or €10,000 mere months ago and still have everyone falling over themselves to join the company. How sad.
Can no one see what has happened here? €25000 extra all of a sudden for the exact same course.
It's very clear folks; supply and demand. They have pounced and are taking advantage of your desperation. This course is NOT worth €30,000 and MOL is laughing all the way to the bank with YOUR money.

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask how did you pass through psychometric test (cut-e). Please everyone to be honest. I got information that a lot of candidates are doing this test in group from home or from class in training centre. The psychometric test is not hard, however the last exercise ATPL questions, that is very hard, because I can not remember all qestions from ATPL bank (16 000questions).. Do someone have questions bank for this exercise? Or do you have any tricks or helpful materials? My opinion is that this test is stupid, because every one is cheating, this PSYCHOmetric test not testing your PSYCHO background but your biggest scores, which you can achieve with cheating. I successfully passed psychotests in the air force and my result was in the required standard, I wrote the test under supervision not from home like test cut-e. And that's fair. Normal result of psychometric test is around 65-80 %, however Ryanair makes the ranking(ladder) according to the highest score (90% and more) Every one who passed through psychometric test in Ryanair is a supernatural genius (or good cheater). Please Could someone help me with this problem?
Thank your very much.

Well, not exactly. €5000 was the price tag for the APC course and the type rating was bonded for 5 years. As things stand now, the type rating has become self-funded once again, just as it used to be up until 2016.
Is it an expensive one though? No denial here. Still cheaper than in some other places, but certainly at the pricey end of the spectrum overall.

That's slightly incorrect. Whatever price you would have paid for the APC you still had an upfront payment for the bond, lowest 5k then later 10k.. Most mates during my interview did not do any APC and were accepted same as me. MCC only.
What people don't realize is that you are not applying or joining Ryanair. They aren't stupid. By early 2020 Ryanair outsourced (on paper) to themselves all aspects of training. I've had many dinners and beers with TRIs about this when it hit my previous (Austrian sister) airline.
In simple terms people are paying for a rating from a company (A) , then from that pool of graduates they(B) will hire as the need arises. That's it. Learn from the easyjet debacle that you are not an employee, they really are smarter than that. They could charge 70k as someone pointed out and it wouldn't matter, there's enough people to pay the tab.

You have your facts muddled up somewhat as pointed out by Hawker.
It was 5,000EU to join the programme in Autumn 2017 (in 2016 and prior it was 30,000EU). This then rose to 10,000EU and has now subsequently risen to 30,000EU. All for the exact same course, in the space of 3 years.
The APS MCC (I think is what you refer to) was run by Ryanair 'approved' academies and charged at a price set by the academy. I'm not aware of any place that was charging 5,000, the lowest I found at the time was 7,000 in Germany. Thankfully I never did it anywhere because in hindsight the whole thing is a needless moneymaking invention and my standard MCC was more than enough to get me that first job with an airline that actually even paid me to do their type rating, imagine that. It is how things should be in fact.
Are you aware of how many people went entirely out of their way to do the RYR APS MCC at whatever 'approved' academy and for whom that MCC turned out to be utterly worthless for the purpose of which they undertook it? All encouraged by RYR but they aren't stupid enough to hold any liability for it all - that's on you and your own wallet.
Anyway back on track, A 737 type rating does not cost 30,000 or anything near it, nor is it what Ryanair pay for it once you give them your money. I don't know about everyone else but my money is extremely hard earnt and I don't fancy being taken for a clown by handing it over in this manner to anybody trying to rip me off.

The problem is that it was 25K and people did it because it was a job after finished the TR later it was 5000 with the bond, beginning of 2020 was 10k plus the bond however they pay you 1st day (not enough but was something) and job after that, now is 30k no bond and no job guaranted and the demand still there, so... if they put 50k some will pay... and TR are found around 15k or less so I don't know where the other 15k come from.
