CPL really worth $139,900

Was doing a google search and came across this website www.isea.edu.au.
Really AUS $139,900, for that you get a CASA/JAR CPL with a Frozen JAR ATPL and a MCC endoresment with a grand total of 200 hours, then on top of that you have to pay for your own Australian ASIC and SPL plus health insurance.??
I am missing somethink here?

That is for an Australian CPL and JAA ATPL, quality CRICOS approved instruction, accommodation in Sweden and less cost than obtaining a JAA ATPL in the UK?

What did you think you missed?

And interesting to read about their course fees and paying upfront.

As the International School of European Aviation's training facility is a registered training organisation of Australia student fees are protected under the Australian Government. The Australian government has endorsed a number of laws to ensure you are protected.

Unless King Island Airlines or some other affiliate offers a job at the end of it, how more employable are you compared to all the other 200 hour wannabe's?

As GADRVR said, waste of money!

Unless you have an EU passport in which case you'll be equally as employable to the airlines as the majority of other european wannabees.

No EU passport - no point.

You'd be better off spending $80K on hiring a twin and logging multi PIC time. $80K will get you about 210 hours multi under your belt ..almost enough for Qantaslink!

If you don't have a right to work in Europe and don't need a JAA ATPL, yes, that course may be a waste of time.

But it is no more expensive, and probably less expensive that similar schools in the UK.

UK School:
The price of the First Officer Direct European Option is set out below.

A complete UK training syllabus with the potential to use Requena, Spain, for the initial single engine flying phase.

Programme includes:

- ATPL Theoretical knowledge: Cranfield, UK
- 85 hours single engine training PA28: Requena, SPAIN
- 40 hours single engine training DA40 glass cockpit: Cranfield, UK
- 20 hours multi engine training DA42 glass cockpit: Cranfield, UK
- 40 hours simulator DA42 FNPT II: Cranfield, UK
- Multi-Crew Co-Operation Course Turbo-prop: Cranfield, UK
- Jet Appreciation Course: Cranfield, UK
- Airline Preparation training: Cranfield, UK

TOTAL COURSE FEE £63,278.75 inc VAT
UK£63,278.75 = Aus$127,770

Perhaps if schools in Australia charged the real cost of training, used professional instructors, paid professional instructor salaries, guaranteed quality training and utilised quality aircraft, we would see far less "fly by night" operators and a far better standard of CPL coming out of Australian flying schools!

not just a cpl

The course is for A Vocational Graduate Certificate in International Aviation (JAA). It s a total of 25 hours on the PA31 - not just an endorsement, you have to do your final test flight in it as well. The JAA ATP/Aus CPL combination has been available in WA for 3 years now - why not make it available on the East coast? You could say the same about doing thre JAA/FAA combination in the states. Just another training option - might bring a few more export dollars into the country other than from the "sub-continent"
