LOL! There are no second thoughts on the program. This is truly a "rumour" network haha.

They just had assessment tests at their new building last week with a new "expat" batch coming in September.

The Al Ain academy is not really operating to train engineers. In time they are trying to stuff any course for any one in there to make it look busy.
As the approval of Jaa for the Gcaa, I thought it was intially approved this summer. Unfortunatley the poor chap who has paid his money and waiting to fly will be in for a very long wait. Horizon at the begining of the year alone took on over 20 ppl students, happily took their money and then told them to wait........................
some are still waiting I believe, others they gave their money back to.
EY students have the most priority, ppl's are told to wait............
And yes, if you are thinking to carry on as a pilot, the GCAA licence is completely useless, also extremely expensive.
EY are completing at the moment with an excess of 100 cadets required to be actual pilots, the theory they are recieving is flawed and they are teaching there pilots to answer multiple choice with no idea about the subject, or the ability to speak english correctly.
My words are go to europe, australia or the US and get a proper licence.

Thumbs down Aaia or institute of applied technology

Excellent Place but unfortunately it is run by IAT. A number of unethical practices have been taken place as well as gross mistreatment of teaching staff by IAT administration.

In-Vino,

Do you mean Horizon Flight Academy @ Al Ain? I am looking at work there and had not heard anything bad, to the contrary, things all look rosy!

Regards

Ralph
