Northern European Aviation Resources??????
Hello People,
I've been looking into flight training schools to do my ATPL. I have no previous flying experience. As far as I understand, there are only 4 approved flight schools according to the CAA for the Integrated courses. All charging an arm and a leg.
While browsing I came across the Northen European Aviation Resources. A company which offers a fATPL. Does anyone have any information about this school or the course? Which schools do employers have a preference towards? Since a job in the end is the long term goal.
I looked in the nordic forum but their opinion is bias toward Scandinavians. I want a perspective from someone who has been there from the UK. I want to know the Job prospect at the end of such a course.
I hope someone can help me out.

Ballistic.
Can`t say i`ve been there. But I have been in contact with them for the last few months, discussing modular and Integrated options. Their response has been very welcoming and I`ve gotten all the info I needed and promptly too, so from that perspective I`ve been very impressed.
Their website looks good too and the option to work as a FI whilst in the states seems to be mean some studes coming back with more then 1500hrs! Although they do badge it as a 3 year course.
Price isn`t too bad either considering it`s Norway!

Seagull61,
Thanks for the info. I've emailed them a couple of days ago but haven't heard back from them as yet. I was hoping that you may be able to answer a few questions that I sent them. They are:
Also, they say that during months 24-36 you return to Norway to complete the course. But, they only provide accommodation for 6 weeks. How does that equate? Do you pay for yourself the other months?
If you have any other info please pass it along.
Thanks a lot!

Maths knowledge
Hi all!
Soon i'll have an admission test for NEAR (www.near-as.no) and they talk about a simple math test.(talking with them they say it will be a very easy test covering more or less the 1 college year)
What do you suggest to review?

Hey, after taking one of these tests i can say it was at GCSE Level, which is 15-16 Year Old Level as i dont know what you call this level in Italy?
The test covered a wide selection of maths, but in most cases they was pretty simple in terms of working out, as long as you knew the formulas for different maths problems.
Just an example, there aviation related but all was relative to calculating distance or arrival times and i think there was an speed one too. All pretty basic, especially compared to the math in thr ATPL that i have been looking at...

The guy from the school told not to worry about cause it was really simple...but what i can see is not so simple!
his words were: "ahh don't worry very easy maths (+- etc etc) almost the 1 college year!"

Ok, i think i have missed a few out The ones you mentioned, sorry typed it in a rush and forgot the obvious, there was trig, but i would class trig as triangles as thats the section i studdied trig in when i was preping.
Its as simple as you make it, i didnt think it was hard as it involved very little working out as the figures was easy to work with. But i guess this will change depending on what place you go to take it. Its al covered in GCSE Maths so i guess its classed as pretty easy...

I think the 1500h are on your reposibility to gain in the US as a flight instructor - you also have to find a place that will employ you.
Here's two websites of chaps have trained with them. Lars (at least used to have) a lot of information about NAIA / NEAR on him website - go and find if it is still there.

Found a NEAR thread in the Nordic Forums. It hasn't been used in a while though.

Sorry People,
I think that this thread has gone of track. I'm looking at more information related to the course and whether it's a reputable place. I still haven't had a response from them in regards to my questions so if anyone can answer them it would be appreciated.
