The Sigmar scheme is even MORE of a ripoff than anything Ryanair will throw at you. When I trained at RYR all I paid for was the TR and my uniform.
At Sigmar, your basically paying for TR and hours on type, similar to Eaglejet. There's a bit of text in there that says you might be picked up by TCX, but whenever that has happened it's only been temporary over a summer season, if at all. Your just cheap labour.
I'd take a serious think about where you are before paying the £30,000+ they want, bearing in mind you can probably get a 320 rating in the States for around £15,000!

Well if it is anything like the old MYT tests then it is as follows.
1. Advanced compass test, lots on pprune about that, just read the instructions fully.
2. Written test in maths, basic stuff not to hard. Also English comprehension test, again not to hard.
3. Sim check, standard stuff. Fly a SID, then some basic general handling, all then finished off with a ILS/VOR approach.
All finished off by a Interview.
As for cost as some people are saying, yes its a lot of cash. But you need to ask yourself if you can afford to spend it, and how much you need to do it.
I can say that people do get taken on at the end of the line training. Not everyone but i know a lot who have.

£32k for the cost of the bridge and type-rating without a guaranteed job at the end of it is one of a risk in the current job climate.
TC will apparently offer 4 jobs per A320 course - not sure how big each course is in terms of student numbers.
I think you would have to be either very rich, very good or very foolish to even think about doing this scheme!!
