Wich schools can you atend with a PPL?
Hello! I am now studying for my PPL. I Was wondering if I can go to OXFORD, Sabena Flight Academy, CTC WINGS and Flight training europe, if I have a ppl? Or do I have to take the PPL again with them wich obviosly means, that I have to pay for it again.
And would you reccomend one of this schools for a guy who lives in Sweden?
Is it really true that I have very good chanches of, getting a job with one of the airlines that cooperate with the schools?
Thanks!!

Look. I am 16 years old so i will try to get in in 4 years. So if they arnīt recruting now and then, it doesnīt matter.
And if i go modular or integrated what? I donīt understand.
If I go to one of these schools, will I have to take my PPL again?
Is these schools a good alternative for a guy who lives in sweden?
I can choose bewteen these schools and scandinavian aviation academy www.bfsaa.se, wich gives me a cpl and IR for free because it is a upper secondary level school.
If i wanīt the best chanches to get a job with ba,lh,af etc and work for th big ones. Wich opption should i choose?

If the state will pay for a CPL / IR then go for it and don't waste your time and money travelling abroad, all routes end up with the same licence at the end.

oxford most certainly will give you a credit for your PPL, the APP course is not the only course that oxford run. You could do the modular "waypoint" course which gives you full PPL credit on any ICAO PPL or more sensibly you could just do the ATPL groundschool at oxford and do the CPL/IR somewhere better value.

Why are you only looking at Integrated schools?? A380 pilots get to where they are based on their skills not where they were trained.
When you have the experience and hours to join BA, Easyjet etc etc the airlines don't care what school you went to, they care about your skills as a pilot.
Get your head out of the marketing scam.

Okey. So it is falls. But if i attend these schools I will have the chance to get a job with easy/BA etc directly, am I right? This I donīt have with SFBAA.
Secondly, it seems that many of the graduates got job with scandinavian companies.
I am interessted in working for foreign companies like BA,KL,LH and Brussels.
What do thei asses? In wich country you got your training or what? Maybee the only thing i need is to stud german for example and be very good at it?
Maybe you guys donīt understand this about the free thing. Let me explain. It is a upper secondary school for 16-19 year olds. It is allso a normal school. We have all the subjects like math,english, physics and so on. So it is a normal school but we study for the cpl/IR as well. So it is twice as hard. This will moast certenly affect my grades. Many of the students donīt get good grades in the normal subjects in order to focus on the flying bit.
So the choices is, to stay in normal school and get good grades and then pay 80000 pounds for ctc etc. Or take the free option and donīt get good grades. (Take in note that the money bit doesnīt mather. I am not rich but I donīt mind working hard and spending much) the only thing I care about is getting the best oppurtunities for the best carrier I can imagine.
Thanks!

No! thats what I just said...
BA, Easyjet etc etc are all looking for guys with experience i.e thousands of hours which you get from Airlines like Ryanair and FlyBe. Ryanair and Flybe both recruit from Modular schools therefore spending the extra cash on OAA, FTE, CTC would be pointless.
OAA, FTE and CTC doesn't guarantee you high marks, if you're crap at flying you will get crap marks regardless of the school.

You wrote that you will wait about four years before you enroll. Hopefully four more years of maturity and research will equip you with what you need to make your own decisions.
Right now, you seem very insistent that someone give you the answer right now, for what you should do four years from now. Some of the schools might not even be in business by then. What is the rush? This is just 16 year old impetuousness and it doesn't belong anywhere near a Ģ50K decision!
I recommend that you read Pprune for about three months and then you'll have a much better idea how to proceed without begging to be spoon fed a decision. Start with the sticky threads. Right now you don't even know the difference between modular and integrated courses and until you know a bit more, your questions will make you look pretty naff, though you probably won't even know that.
Modular courses give you full credit for a PPL, as you can't even start one without it. If you take an integrated course, the rules allow the FTO to credit up to 40 hours, but they decide how much to credit. Oxford gives no credit to PPL holders who enroll on their integrated APP First Officer course and full credit to those who enroll on the modular Waypoint course. The most credit I have ever seen an FTO allow on their integrated course is 15 hours credit.

Let the professionals decide if you're crap at flying, not yourself 
.
I think you have a lot of research to do, as a 16 year old I would leave this reasearch until you are in a fiancial position to pay for the course, it's all good saying that you want to join OAA etc but when you get a bit older and realise the true value of Ģ80k + interest I'm sure you will start to consider the modular route.
