Randhem - A woeful story
I've just, I think, lost several thousand euros trying to do my instructor rating at randhem.... I should have known, but then hindsight is always 20/20....
The last word i've had from them is that they lost the caa approval.... I've lost count of how many emails/phone calls I've made to randhem. They have been unable, as yet, to complete the simulator part of the course. I am still hoping....
Please beware before parting with your cash

Sorry to hear what happened about your TRI course. I hate to think about the reprocussions it will have...
We are not the only ones out there who have lost thousands of pounds. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a great many more.

In particular, search "Randhem" and "Jet Airways". And then think very hard about how comfortable you are, depositing large sums of money in trust with these guys.
And another thing - a JAA and USA FATPL/IR/MCC in 10 months?? Sure it's theoretically possible but, lets just say, I spent 5 years instructing CPL/IR and I bet you £10 that you can not find me a single person who's actually done it (or, if they did, are happy with the quality of what they received).

News Letter
July 10, 2008
Our organisation have suffered from the failed contract with Jet Airways, India where the airline stopped payment of a substantial amount of money for training. Also with difficulties from the Swedish CAA for approval of the training in the US we have decided to move our TRTO to the UK. We have come to an agreement with Pan Am for all training. With training at Pan Am we can offer a very competetive course, JAA approved.
All training has been postponed at the moment but estimate to resume again in October 2008. In the new deal, all customer are purchasing the course from Pan Am directly. With the new training, all eventual additional training and re-scheduling is very easy managed. That was one of the great problems we have experienced in Europe with training at Oxford.
We do welcome all customer to take the training in the US with Pan Am and will deliver an improved customer service at all times.
The office in Sweden will be closed permanently from July 2008. All staff will be located in Miami.

That could mean a multitude of things!
Their normal website is down. Their Norwegan based pilot training school, Avia Training seems to be still in existence.
They claim to be having "difficulties with the swedish caa for approval of training in the US." and they have " decided to move their TRTO to the UK".
They have re opened in the UK under the name of "northern aerospace".

I had a bad experience and lost money because of the unprofessionalism at Randhem aviation. If the same people are involved here I don't see anything good happening either. Good luck,
