Some students there says that they are very slow to deal with the modular students unfortunately..

I’d try to reach them directly via Messenger rather than email. Or just call’em, they seem to be pretty responsive to the phone calls.

The flight school you’re from is important to some companies, but Ryanair absolutely is not one of them. The RYR Mentored program always felt like a waste of money to me.

They appear to not really care that much, about where you did your training etc. I’ve seen plenty of people get invited for their assessment. Ranging from the most obscure and unknown flightschools, to having done their training at 10 different places, you name it.

Don’t overthink it, get a cplmeir with a flightschool where you’re comfortable.

IMO; Where it gets important for successfull airline assessments; a good MCC and a sim prep for the specific assessment profile. That’s what’s being judges in the end.

Also, don’t hyperfocus on technical skills and knowledge. The non technical part of the interview is equally important. Show that you can be a good coworker.

After a few hrs almost everybody will be able to fly the operation, but not everybody will be able to be a good coworker.

Quick question on this; after the studies and if you are accepted by Ryanair, is the type rating still self funded (I read something about 30.000€?), or does Ryanair fund that?

You are clearly not up to date with the forthcoming terms. Not everyone has the 30k to splash out on the type rating. The Mentored Scheme now makes ALL the difference (if FR is the goal)

For now yes, but there are changes coming.

interesting, thanks. Do you know what kind of changes and an indication of when that will happen?

edit: Disregard, found your other post on the “Free Ryanair TR” topic. Thanks.

Well, obviously... since the post is from january and the RYR mentored news was published in february

Anyhow, this new proposed scheme gives you your first job a chance of securing your first job without paying upfront. So if the course price stays the same, it seems like a good deal. Bartolini's instruction is reputable, scheduling and communication... not so much

I would like to travel home some weekends as I'm not from Poland and am just wondering the flexibility. Thanks in advance.

Hey collns96,
Can you give any feedback about the course?
Hope you are flying already :)

Has anyone gone through the stage 1 of this and knows how long it has taken and have you been offered a Ryanair Type Rating afterwords?

I am currently doing modular and into my PPL. I am English but also half polish (although do not speak the language) and have family near lodz so could live there no problem but wouldn't want to be more than 6 months ideally and also do they do dual licence as I would want to work and live in the UK and not pigeon hole myself in Ryanair planes in the future.

35k Euros seems a good deal however. Would mean I could do my entire licence for under £45k easy.

[AhhhPilot]

Hey is anyone currently doing the bartolini RYN atpl course, I'm planning to join the course in October saved up around 60k so should be enough for the course.
If anyone is currently attending please let me know the pros and cons as I've heard really good things about them but also pretty bad ones
also the interviewer told me that everyone gets offered a job when they join the course, is this true as well?

Thanks & Regards

[Lore737]

Can you rely on the atpl course lasting 18-24 months or is it longer?

[Fiskardo]

Am I missing something or is this course almost too good to be true? It's 67k EUR/56k GBP for UK citizens, which makes it as cheap as a modular course, but also includes the type rating and a conditional offer. I imagine living costs in Lodz are much less than the UK as well. It looks like a supiciously good deal and I wonder why there's such a heavy discount for UK students.

As a UK + Italian (EU Citizen) residing in the UK, which of the two courses would be best to take (UK or EU/Morocco). It says that with the UK pathway you still receive an EASA license + Type Rating + Conditional job offer for no extra cost (as someone said above is this too good to be true?), but the condition is that you ‘are willing to work for Ryanair based in the UK for at least 5 years’. Does this mean that you will be based in the UK e.g Stansted, but will still be flying EI- reg aircraft not G- aircraft (as I believe you would need UK CAA License to fly those anyway). And after the 5 years does this mean with the EASA license I could theoretically transfer bases to a European location?

You will still have to pay for your type rating at Ryanair. So realistically that is another 30k.

It is still a fantastic deal however and will give them a visit once my PPL is finished to see what the deal is. If the conditional offer is really true.

Why would you still need to pay for type rating?

It says this on the website:

This course is designed for the citizens of the UK or candidates otherwise eligible to live and work in the UK (this includes those who hold pre-settled status and all Irish citizens). If you meet this requirement and are willing to work for Ryanair based in the UK for at least 5 years, you will enjoy a special reduced price for the Ryanair Future Flyer Academy.

You are also eligible for a Type Rating with no additional payment and will receive a conditional job offer upon course enrolment. Upon completion, you will obtain an EASA licence.

I am looking at the gateway 1 option which is after PPL and ATPL exams.

"The next step is a Type Rating course, which is organized by Ryanair."

[La kaka]

I am currently saving up for the UK Scheme Ab Initio at Bartolini Air, which is 67.000 Eur for those residing in the UK and willing to work there for the next 5 years. Looking to start my training at the end of next year.

After reading some of the posts here it looks like you have to pay for your own type rating which seems to be around 30.000 eur ???. From what i have read on their official website it says that ryanair themselves Quote from the brochure they sent me " Ryanair Future Flyer Academy students receive a Conditional Job Offer upon enrolment and are eligible for a Boeing 737 type rating course funded by the airline subject to a training agreement".

It could be that b4 you had to pay for the type rating but now they have decided to fund it?? Maybe, who knows.
I will talk to them and keep you guys updated. Also i still need to do my rynaair assesment, I will let you know also how that goes.

Also, can any previous student of bartolini tell how their training went, in terms of instructors, how many days you had to attend the training centre, and what about the accomodation, will we have find our own or will they help you in finding one? Thnanks

Cosa ne pensate di FTO a Padova per ATPL?

Calculator, maths + physics FFA final stage

Any information surrounding what the maths and physics tests are like in the final in-person assessment? What kind of questions do they usually ask, and do you need a calculator?

Hi, hope you’re doing well. I saw that you completed the Bartolini/Ryanair assessment process, and I wanted to ask if you could share any advice on how to prepare for it. I’m currently getting ready for the assessment myself and would really appreciate any tips about the stages, what to focus on, or how you practiced. Thank you in advance!
