Multi Crew Co-operation Course (MCC)

I have been holding back doing an MCC course in the hope that I could use my higher hours to get me a job, and have my next employer foot the bill.

I have now come the conclusion that this may be holding me back, so who is doing the best deal, where and how much was would it cost.

Any advice recommendations would be appreciated.

Thumbs up

Try and get hold of a copy of January's 'Flyer' magazine.

It had a complete list of all approved schools that hold the MCC course.

It also included prices and addresses.

Hope this helps.

Why not just go to the FCL website and get the up to date list? It might not include prices but they seem to change by the week at present.

Out of curiosity, has anyone noticed any significant improvement in application reponses once they include MCC in their qualifications ?

Guys,
It didn't make much difference in my applications, but my company required MCC. So what to do?
My input would be DO IT.

Back in October, one of my colleagues, having spent 9 months with not a sniff of airline interest, went out and did an MCC. He then had 3 interviews in 6 weeks - now happily ensconced in a 146.

I had been trying to resist doing one up to that stage but now I'm saving money like a mad b@stard ...

By the way Lear35, the website is 4forces.co.uk.

Now, question of my own ... does anyone know if it's possible to do an instrument rating renewal as part of an MCC course (or as a bit extra tacked onto the end?) Might as well kill two birds with one stone.

Yep, PM did it at the end of his course, costs extra though and the course doesn't really prepare you for it as it's all autopilot stuff. Might be joining you on that one, by the way. The evidence is compelling.

Cool MCC Course?

What is the cheapest MCC around?

Like to hear from anyone who has recently found a good deal, anywhere.

Thanks

Barney

Its worth looking around Barney, MCC's have come down in price over the last 12 months. Even OATS has reduced their course by about £2k.

I used the Flight Centre at WBA £1800, no complaints and most enjoyable.

cheers

Dont know if they still do, but London Guildhall University used to advertise that they would 'price match' on the MCC course.

And I would recommend London Guildhall, haven't actually been but Capt Tony Banfield is superb....the Simulator is only the BE20 so price isn't too bad..about 2k I think.

If you do your CPL or IR (or it might be both actually) with Multiflight then you get the MCC at £1000. BTW, anyone know what sim Multiflight use for the MCC?

Multiflight use a BE200.

Good course, although I did my CPL and IR with them and my MCC cost £2K - I think I will be ringing them up for a refund!!!

London Guildhall still do price matching, and as for Tony Banfield, well what can you say? Not any old MCC school has the most recently retired Officer Commanding - Battle of Britain Memorial Flight on their books.

He's the kind of person that Flight International invented the 'Total Aviation Person' award for ... any man who's got every model of Spitfire from Mk 1 through 21 on their licence, is OK by me!
