Boeing 737-200 Type rating
Could any one give me any idea as to where I can obtain the above type rating (self funded).
Many thanks
PS Please don't turn this into a debate about the merits or not paying for your own type rating as I know that argument chapter and verse.

eagerbeaver,
you are partly correct. Astraeus does not " do " type-ratings. However our subsidiary , Bond Aviation Solutions does type ratings on 737 and A320. We were approached by JAC acadamy some time ago to partner us on the type ratings. However, we declined involvement following our dicovery of " problems" with JAC Acadamy paying their bills.
Most of the people who do type ratings with BOND are gainfully employed in the industry, some with Astraeus. Some of the candidates also do some line training with us to consolidate their conversion course.
At this time neither BOND nor Astraeus have any connection whatsoever with JAC Acadamy.

A differences course. Usually requires some technical lectures (should be too long) and a couple of sessions in a sim.
Most 737-300 to -800 diff courses can be knocked over in about a week.

I completed the TRTO with Astraeus in Jan and then did the NG differences before going to Excel.
The Cost from Astraeus was £1500 as a bolt on, and we were given one bit of photocopied paper and a fixed base, followed by a full flight session. I guess this is a minimum requirement, but I did'nt feel it was enough, other than as a paperwork exercise.
At Excel, we then had two more fixed base and five full flight and five days ground school to do the job properly.
I gather Easy is about the same.
Question is: do you just want it on the licence or do you really want to be able to operate the airplane?
Draw your own conclusions.

My UK issued type rating says 737-300~900. If you train on the classic you need to do differences training to fly the NG and visa versa.
