Eft
I done my PPL there and had no problems bar some admin Glitches. And going back again in april to do Hour Building and most likely will continue my training with them till the end!!
I believe they have taken over the housing on the Pan Am campus now so the housing dificulties seem to have been sorted!!!

Well, to sum it up, it seems too me that the eft is porbably the best choice if one goes to the states for the whole package
I would like to hear from somebody who has unstructed there and has 1500hours or soo...step forward...
Kind regards from a cold Sweden, -4C.

Did my CPL, ME and some of my IR over at EFT, very happy with it all and would recomend them to anybody. In fact I was a student of Mordacai. Any questions feel free to PM me.

Good for getting a JAA modular CPL and MEP done quickly. But for an IR you are better off doing an FAA IR with Ari Ben Aviatior and doing a conversion back in Sweden or the UK. If you are looking to instruct out there you would be better signing up for the Ari Ben Aviator FAA instructor program. Ari Ben is the US company which EFT leases its planes from. Ari Ben is one of the cheapest schools in the States, but if you can ride some of the short comings at this place then it is does offer very good value in terms of building multi engine time. I wish I had known about the Ari Ben scheme before I did my CPL training.

Have to agree with portsharbourflyer on that one, those multi hours are really important in getting that first job. But anyways, its not about Aviator vs EFT. Regarding the quality at EFT, its OK I suppose, you go through the courses and finish within the time frame they promise which I must say is very good. I really wouldn't recommend them for hour building though, a/c availability was a nightmare when I was there, the prices weren't exactly cheap either (for American standards of course).
Oh two more things, watch your account outgoings like a hawk(they have the most complicated way of presenting simple accounts), and try not to be in a position where you have alot of money with the school when your finishing your training, it will be a whole different ball game trying to get it back. These are my experiences and those of my colleagues when I was training!!!
EFT got me through the CPL and MEP exactly as promised for a very good price(by European Standards), the small problems were simply in administration and sometimes money driven attitude. Good luck with whatever you do.

What I'd like to know is, with a CPL/IR/ME in view, what would the difference/advantages be between doing the (JAA) PPL with them, or back in Europe (€5,710.- at Empuriabrava--need to find out if they offer instruction in English, though).
Wouldn't it be a bit too much of a hassle having to go all the way across the pond, deal with visas, etc., just for a lowly PPL and savings of perhaps under $1,000? Plus, I have mates in the Empuriabrava area.

Hi there,
Well i went to look at their facility in Fort Pierce FL. If i were you i would stay away from this organisation. Complete and utter mess when i went to have a look. Planes broken everywhere Instructors that looked like they really didn't have a clue and a horrible location

I totally disagree!!!!!!
I spent the best part of 2 months out at EFT in Florida last year and found them to be fantastic!
Id recommend them and if you do a more in depth search on them then you will find others who also would approve!!

Did my CPL there about 4 yrs ago. Now fly Airbus for a well-known British flag carrier - enough said?

I asked about EFT in a post a few weeks back. I got a mixed response (about 11 replies). Quite a few said they received good training. A few were negative about the financial side of things. A couple were negative without really saying why.
I've talked to Trevor, their CFI, and he comes across well. I've also been talking to a guy called Matt who has done a lot of training out there, and is out there at the moment. He speaks quite highly of them and seems to think they pressure you a bit on the money front, but as long as you keep tabs on your account you should be fine. I am probably going to book up a CPL with them starting mid-May. PM me if you want to exchange any info.
