I should be starting on the Jan course, not signed up yet tho.
I'll probably take my car with me, I know that Uk insurers insist that your car be in the UK for at least 3 months of every year, and the cover abroad is usually only 3rd party... although I know a few ex pat insurance companies out there that are cheap.

Hi, i was planning on starting in july but and now hoping to be out there for january! Are you using BBVA bank for a loan, i'm just about to fill in the application form! To all those waiting to go and look round FTE jerez, enjoy it, i really liked my day there and can't wait to return!
You can insure your uk vehicle in spain, not sure how, but my dad lives in malaga but drive his old uk car still with uk plates. Think he found a company out there that deal with ex pats.

Hello all,
I'm starting the course in January as well, although I'm planning on getting a flight down.
Does anyone know how many in total there is going to be on the January course, seems like a lot at the minute.

Well i was told that there are 2-3 places left on the jan course.
Think that a course probably has a max of 15 people on it but not sure!

Hows everyone getting to Jerez? I think I'm going to burn airmiles on Star Alliance and thinking of getting there on 20th Jan.
Whats everyone elses flying experiences like? I have my PPL with 60 hours total so far.

I just got back from seeing BBVA in Knightsbridge yesterday. Very helpful, very relaxed, and no problems. However, they are a bit under staffed at the moment so get your application in ASAP as they advised me it would take longer than usual to get processed.
Roll on january!

Due to the fact that there isn't enough room at the school to cater for 15 per course, there are 10 ppl per course as from January for the 10 courses running next year. The standard will be pretty high as 36 of them will be MEA cadets so the self-funded places will be harder to get.
But definitely pay a visit here - best way to see if it suits you.

Hey veetwo, how long since you applied for the loan? I sent off my business plan 3 weeks ago, and then the official application form just over a week ago. Not heard anything back yet and starting to get worried. Was hoping to have it all sorted by xmas.

13 cadets cannot possibly be coming in January from MEA. I know at least 3 people who are not MEA cadets who are confirmed on the Jan course.. and if there are only 10 places per course, there cannot be more than 7 of the MEA guys. Personally, I heard there would be around 4 per course.
