FTE is excellent. When you come to MCC/JOC again they are first rate except you have to avoid one gentleman (?) who has been round there for far too long and can stop your career dead (he almost did mine) ... problem is he does“nt understand that he too should use CRM an set an example. Angry Santa is a very apt description!!!!!!

Train hard, fight easy! It is that way for a reason. A very good FTO. Got me where I wanted, had a great time. And no that wasn't in the hotel club up the road!

Stinsy-
I'm pretty confident that if you're going to be part of an integrated course then they will insist that you live on campus for the duration. However it never hurt asking so get in touch with the admin team (details are on the website) or failing that pm me and i'll head over to admin and ask for you.
If you were to go modular for your flight training though then lots of people live offsite and just come in for their flights. either way living on campus is ok, mainly because the bar is so close by!
just about to leave here now after nearly 15 months and would highly recommend the school. the training is great and have recieved fantastic instruction since day one so definately give fte a shot.
good luck mate.

Thanks Rithalic,
I guess what I'm wondering is if it's feasible to stay outside of the school. Is there a set schedule for classes and flights, or do they just sort of ring you at your room when there's a spot?
I'm sure I could make use of that bar either way!!

All very helpful, thank you.
I'm interested in the school, and I've contacted them concerning this accommodation stuff and they told me that they in fact do not allow integrated student to stay outside.
I know the program is intensive, but do those of you who have done/doing it think you would have fared ok on your own?
I'm just not used to the kind of living where I'm taken care of and fed and all that. I know it may be weird to some of you, but I kind've enjoy making my own dinner...
Anyway this will be the biggest factor affecting my decision about Jerez knowing it's indeed a very good school.

Having completed the course I would say it would probably be too much to stay on your own. The course really does get quite intense and you mind find it too much to go home after a day in ground school and have to cook etc! Not only that - living on campus helps. Being able to pop round to your mates room for some help is invaluable. You also wont be able to make full use of the bar if you have to then drive home 
Hope this helps. PM me if you have any questions.

el khoury - i cant speak in any official terms but i have noticed the average size of the courses increasing over the last year or so. my guess would be that as there is more demand, they may feel they can increase the price. plus fuel prices are on the increase so.....? but that is pure speculation so who knows.
stinsy - i understand where you are coming from but i agree with time4 wholeheartedley, after a long ass day in ground school your brain is pretty fried and its all you can do to stumble over to the canteen to eat and then relax for an hour or so before you will need to hit the books for a while. one of the main reasons i chose this school was that everything was on site, it was all paid for and i knew i'd be able to just concentrate on studying once i was here. its a personal thing but being around other students 24/7 does force you to work more than if you were on your own i think. i for one will happily say that i wouldnt have done as well as i have if it hadn't have been for being around my coursemates and having supported each other throughout.
ultimately it is your decision but i will say this, its a great school, with genuinely sound people throughout. im leaving on sun after 15 months here and have enjoyed my sentence!....unemployment awaits (albeit temporarily i hope)
good luck with it all.

yeh, study some maths and physics (gcse jazz) and have a look at some verbal reasoning questions as well.
as for the interview, if its with colin then just give as much abuse as you get and you should be fine! but generally be confident and be yourself.
enjoy it, spend some time at the bar with the students and good luck man!
