OAA or AAA
 

I am planning for self sponsored type rating + MCC from either Oxford aviation academy or Alpha aviation academy, UK.
If any of you guys have done their Type rating on A320 from either of the above school, please shed some light on its traning standards, instructors and ground traning.

thanks

Don't expect any job placement help from OAA at the end of it... (only the top of the class integrated get that) Good school/facilities/instructors at the Gatwick/ex Gecat site though.

Both are good choices, both uses Oxford Books...etc. & both have MCC done on a 737 or FNPT II looking like a 737 & have European instructors as well, as for A320 Type Rating, I have done it as a part of Alpha's MPL training in Amman, Jordan (instead of Dubai, UAE)...I guess Alpha Aviation Academy (Group) will be sending their cadets out of UAE for A320 Type Rating until end of this year or so I don't know if they have an A320 Sim there in Gatwick...

I know for sure there is a BIG Pilot Shortage in the UAE & in the region in general, I guess we are in the BOOM period of the airlines in Middle & East Asia (Arabia & around the Indian Ocean), if you have a piece of paper or card or Document that says CPL/IR or ATPL or MPL, with a Type Rating (A320 is Great) I guess you have good chances there, Alpha might help you I guess, as they have some connections here & there...don't know about OAA though :ok:
