Aeros or Stapleford for CPL MEIR

[jordon1703]

Hi all,

I have seen a few posts in the archives here on pprune regarding this topic but most of them are from a decade ago, or with reference to ex-students that were training there a long time ago now.

Would anyone be able to shed a light on what they believe to be the better option to go for when it comes to commercial training?

As of Feb 2023, I have found that Aeros seems to be more on the expensive side (£45000 with 20% buffer) when compared to SFC (£32000 with 20% buffer), however SFC is considerably closer to where I live (1hr compared to nearly 2hrs).

I'm more concerned about reputation and what will give me better chances down the line when it comes to flying ability and success at airline interview. Any insight would be great.

Thanks

You need to visit both establishments by appointment, speak to the customers training before deciding. Tour the premises. Sit in the ac.
If you are going full time consider staying locally. There will be known addresses where other students lodge.
Often beneficial to discuss matters between yourselves.
