From what i remember from a seminar, its not a huge amount cheaper at oxford, theres all the little extras such as uniform that arent included in the price for modular, take a look at the oxford website and/or book a seminar, they are very informative (and take a notepad and pen with you, very useful)

hi guys i just received and information pack from oxford aviation training and just wondering if anyone knows how much it costs to accomplish the ATPL and ready to go for type rating?
cheers
P.S im soo confused wether to go florida or stsy in UK and do it and pay more money.

if theres any oxford graduates please advice me
thanks

Kazi285, expect to pay around £60,000 for the integrated training at OAT, pretty sure it says that in the brochure.
As for the type rating, that is usually between £15-£20,000, depending on the aircraft type. You may have to pay for that yourself, or the airline you get a job with, may pay it. they will then take a bit of money out your salary over so many years to get their money back.
Either way its a lot of money, however, you have got to spend money to make money.

It clearly states what the cost is in the brochure - my kid sister could figure it out

If you cant work that out for yourself you might end up struggling with your ATPL!!!!!

Maybe, but she probably doesn't know what rental property costs in Oxfordshire or the likelyhood and cost of resitting exams and/or skills tests.

The price quoted in any FTO's brochure is merely the start of your expenditure. Budget at least £6,000 - £8,000 for accomodation expenses. Then add the price of food, a car if you have one, the cost of license issue....the list goes on.

Has anyone done this? £25000 course cost,just wondering what the reality is?? Started a new job recently and can't stand it! Made me think about setting up a savings account and possibly aim at doing the waypoint course. Quoted as 6months does anyone have anymore info/recommendations? Dont really want to drag out modular route for years which is why im looking at oxford

Just wondering if there is anyone on here currently doing the Waypoint Modular Training at OAT?
Im due to start in a few weeks and just have a few questions.....

Hey has anyone completed or currently doing the OAT waypoint course ? If so can you please let me know how it is as I'm starting my ATPL's at OAT in Nov but havn't decided where I am going to do my JAA CPL conversion/IR/ME/MCC. I'm coming over with Australian CPL.

I'm also considering Stapleford/Cabair.


If you could give me some insight please PM me or post here.


thanks

Where in Australia are you coming from?
Possible to convert in Australia now.
see http://www.waaviationcollege.com.au/ or the ad at the top of the page.

Yeah I could go to WA for the training , but they don't do full time ATPL courses, they only do them for their intergrated courses so i would have to wait weeks between subjects. Last time I checked you still had to fly to the UK for the tests anyway.


I've just checked the site now, they've updated it since I last looked at it but looks like there still sending people to the UK for IR/MCC anyway.
thanks

hi,
i wanted to know what do you think about oxford aviation.. it so expensive, but very good(what they said).. do you agree?or not?

Got my OAT assessment on the 27th - 28th September. Pretty nervous but hoping it goes ok. Just recapping my memory on all the old maths and physics. Anyone else got theirs then?

Tried to post this last night so apologies if it comes up twice

Currently about to start my 2nd year of Uni and exploring the various avenues to achieveing a fATPL.

The OAT website states that they got 180 graduates into employment in 2005 and 120 so far this year....this is pretty useless information without knowing how many people graduate every year . So could anyone tell me please? Alternatively does anyone know the percentage of graduates that achieve employment within 6 months?

This is the sort of information OAT needs to give and leads me to think that these statistics aren't so favourable otherwise the marketing boys down there would be plastering it all over the site.

Any help would be much appreciated

Are you able to join the intergrated course if you have a ppl?

Yes 181 is impressive BUT not all were people who completed in 2005/6, there were many who had qualified in 2004 and were waiting for jobs.

There are also quite a number of modular who go through Oxford and (incredible as it may seem to many of you) get jobs. Oxford I believe take credit for these employment stats as well.

Hey, I've got a seminar at OAT on the 7th october followed by a skills assesment soon after that.

Any recommendations on the more cheap / direct ways of getting there?
For me, being based in Manchester there is no direct mode of public transport, anyone from my neck of the woods got any recommendations on the most efficiant way of transporting myself there?

Any help would be appreciated

Helen,

Don't Virgin Cross Country have direct trains between Manchester and Oxford? thetrainline.com comes up with some!

when I wen thru oxford 2 years ago, 2 guys on my course had PPLs, as a result they were able to get an hours reduction on their VFR training in scottsdale, now Goodyear. Even the others who had a few hours but no PPL, I think were able to do the same to a limited extent.
