I have an idea. Why don't you go to the fly Dubai website and look for yourself

I have! If you read my question, it’s tailored made for Canada and I was simply wondering if other Canadians went through the program. Also the apply button is broken in both the CAE and flydubai website so I wasn’t sure who to contact.

Aren’t you just a bundle of joy! No need to be hostile, I suggest you take a few deep breaths! It’s good for you and you’ll hold on to your class 1 medical longer

Before you even begin just check with Transport Canada if CAE Dubai is an authorised type rating center so the 737 rating can enter in your license.

Why do you think the process for a Canadian license conversion is different to an FAA or EASA?
The people to contact is CAE for this info. Trusting prune for accurate information is risky.

Hostile? Did I swear or make belittling remarks? Did I attack you personally? Just cause you don't like a response doesn't make it an attack on you.

Same process for ICAO as the TCAA is a full, unrestricted International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

I emailed them, and unfortunately they don’t accept candidates with Canadian license for some reason

Hi Cruise,

do you have any idea about how the process is different and if there is any advantage if u have GCAA license and you apply directly to flydubai training centre instead of CAE?

I recently got an answer from the FlyDubai Training Centre : 👇🏻
Kindly be advised that currently flydubai conducts self-sponsored B737 Type Rating Courses for GCAA license holders only. Therefore, if you wish to enroll in the program with flydubai but you hold a foreign license, you will be required to convert your current license to a GCAA one and fulfill the below stated minimum requirements. License conversion can be done, for example, at Fujairah aviation academy.

Minimum requirements for B737 Type Rating Course:

1. Passport
2. Resume
3. Valid GCAA license (minimum CPL) with valid rating
4. Completion certificate of high school 12 years education, or higher
5. Minimum ICAO Level 4 ELP certificate
6. Valid Class 1 Medical
7. Completion certificate of ATPL exam
8. Completion certificate of GCAA 14 subjects theory exam
9. MCC course completion certificate
10. Logbook

The B737 Type Rating course duration is approximately 6-7 weeks(Classroom and Simulator), and the current price is 35,000 USD (including VAT). *Price may be subject to change and accommodation is not included.



Kindly note that successful completion of the program does not guarantee employment. However, once you have successfully completed the course and the skill test (first attempt), then you become eligible to apply for a Second Officer position, if a vacancy is available.



Alternatively, for foreign licenses, our training partner - CAE conducts the type rating. You may contact them for more information on the Type Rating Program that they offer.



For Second Officer vacancies, please contact Deborah Madushika at from CAE, who can assist you with more information; or continue to monitor our official career website and follow the recruitment process.
P-S : Since it's a new account I cannot include any links, you can alternatively find Deborah's email address in previous posts.

Hi,

I have GCAA license and trying for SO program via flydubai training centre, if u also have GCAA license and going down the same path pls get in touch with me [phone] (whatsapp)

Hey I have some questions regarding the program, can you private message me since I can’t because I’m new.

There is definitely an advantage if you have a GCAA license, one of which is you don't need to write any of those exams. In the past people with GCAA license did their rating directly through the flydubai training center rather than CAE. But you still need to apply with CAE.

Hi there I already follow this post for a while so to be conclude I have T CPL with Multi IR with 300 TT with ATPL 13 subjects passed so if I want to apply this program I have to contact CAE first because Fly Dubai center only take care who is hold in GCCA but the the thing could I do the sim assessment first or do I have to start type rating 737 course with CAE because if I do 737 type rating first it is very risk for me.

You need to do a 2 day selection process first before being accepted in the type rating course. There are people who don't pass this selection. It involves psychometric test, ATPL exam, aptitude test and a simulator assessment on day 2.

you need to do the rating with CAE and upon passing everything on the first try you will get an interview with Flydubai not a guaranteed job.

Same here, it's been over a month since I submitted all my documents for the assessment. They told me to wait, but I haven’t heard anything back since. Anyone else in the same situation?
