Decisions
I Have a bit of a problem, I dont know wheather to accept a place in Jerez Integrated course or take a place in Aero Madrid. The only thing thats really attracting me to Madrid is the A320 simulator and you get alot more hours

go with the one that offers you more hours/more training...
at the end of the day you will have the same licence what ever school you goto.
(p.s. have you visited both schools? perhaps choose the one that feels better?)

Jerez is host to the best integrated course. Finished with them along time ago (indeed it was run by different management then) and went straight into a job.
My nephew just finished with them last year and walked straight into a job at BA (if you have the requirements) under the SSP scheme.
But the choice is yours, i believe if you have the money go to the best school on this planet (in my humble opinion - please dont start flaming and start a discussion on good schools)

Naturally you discuss every aspect of a school regardless of the reputation. Decisions one makes cost money and if they prove wrong, well needless to say more
If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is not true. Every coin's got a reverse side.

I can garauntee you no one walks into a job with BA via SSP.
As for Jerez vs Aero Madrid - I didn't go to either, but my feeling was with only 2 english courses at aero madrid, their course tkaing 2 years instead of 15 months and them perhaps not being so well known and connected with the airlines put me off.

I work for the mentioned airline that runs the SSP program and its tough to get in but people do get in...live with it Big and yes some people fly through the process because they have got the ability so to them its like walking straight in after flight school...deal with it.

I think those kind of statements can be misinterpreted by those looking at choices of schools. Certain training organisations may be able to provide the opportunity to apply to certain airlines, but there seems almost always be some form of selection before being offered the place.

No matter what school you go to, you're going to have to go through a selection process. No airline is going to take you simply on the recommendation of the flying college, whether it's Jerez or Aeromadrid. However, the connections between FTE Jerez and the airlines are well proven, many of us having jobs/job possibilities already before finishing the course. I'm not going to suggest that everybody who comes down here will get a job because of where they studied, the point has already been made that you do have to have the ability. However, FTE will give you all the tools you need to make the most of that ability and can then offer you to airlines based on their proven reputation.
I've not been anywhere else, I've only ever studied at FTE, and I've no doubt that Oxford graduates, or Aeromadrid graduates could pick out things about their respective colleges that may make it better. All I can do is give my own humble opinion, but I have to say that it is one shared by a large number of people within the aviation world, not just by FTE students/graduates, but most importantly by a large number of airlines.
Besides, it's sunny and warm here and the bar is remarkably cheap
