I did my A320 Type-Rating and MCC at Sabena and found their training to be of very high standard,

and I have also heard some bad things about Jerez... very poor quality on their instructors is one thing,...

Founder,
Care to eloborate ? Would that be groundschool instructors, flight instructors, MCC instructors or just generally all of us ?

Hi,
I've seen some of your other previous posts and I'm glad to see that you're progressing in making your informed decision.

Having trained at FTE and since then instructed for Cabair, in my opinion FTE provide excellent training.

Since then, I have worked for CAE (not in Belgium though) They were also very competent and professional.

On the surface, I'd say that they are both very good and really it's more of a personal decision. You've got to decide what you want to get out of the course. CAE / Sabena appear to offer a more comprehensive package, but is it worth the extra time and money? IMHO the more training you can get, the better. However I'm not sure how much it will help you get a job.

It depends where you want your licence issued. In terms of training quality, there is little to choose between them; and yes, I am sufficiently familiar with both providers to make that informed statement. If you go with FTE, your licence will be issued by the UK CAA and if you go with Sabena, it will be issued by the Belgian authority. If the state of licence issue is not a concern, it comes down to where you would prefer to spend about a year of your life and how much you are prepared to pay. In the end, there's only one person who can answer those questions.

Posts from people who actually trained there are reliable, second hand gossip is not!

"very poor quality on their instructors is one thing"

I disagree. I found their instructors to be of a generally very high standard, with only one or two exceptions.

Visit both, and then decide.

If you enjoy the warmth, then Spain is probably the answer.

Aptitude testing is an important precondition of entry, together with the issue of the class one medical before you finally decide.
