Concerning the prices, we have to submit them to our board first, but I can already say that they are in the same range than the other schools: we are going to position us in the same levels. We have still few verifications to do before publishing and our board must give us the clearance to make them public: but our intention is clear, in spite a very different quality of training, [b]same prices.[/b]
Concerning the JAR credentials, we are in touch with DCA and also some European Authorities. In our team we have several recognised JAR instructors, we know the conditions to fulfill, our syllabus is fully compliant with DCA requirements and JAR FCL1. Our Manuals (under drafting) are also fully in line with DCA and JAR requirements. We know the auditing conditions.
We fully respect JAR working conditions, Students to Instructor ratios....
We aim to train Malaysian and international students, so we will get the credentials to do so....We know also the limits of a FTO training on JAR standards outside Europe (IR for example which must be finished in Europe).
I repeat we will get the credentials as per our customer demands, but we are organised in order to be recognised by most of Authorities....
The MCC/ELT is an option as some Airlines prefer to do it with the Type Rating. The whole package CPL/IR with frozen ATPL and MCC/ELT will remain in the range of our competitors.

I have already make an answer to your comments in an other thread:
"The chances to get a job depend mainly on your personality, your personal aptitudes and the quality of training.
If you are in a low standard FTO, your chances are less than if you are in a first class one. It is obvious that some FTO operators are pushing for a limitation in the number of schools because they try to protect themselves as they are fearing to be in competition with others. The number of FTOs will auto regulate itself as the low standard schools will loose their students: do not be afraid, the number of schools has nothing to do with the job market, I will say on contrary, more the competition will be fierce and more the high standards will give chances to students locally but also abroad and will open the job market....
do not let the low standard operators use this argument for protecting their poor performances....
The project we are working on is of "International Standard" we aim to get "international" students" and not to depend only on local students, and as we respect our customers, the number of student intakes will be limited: it is not a crack down on the market..."

Answering to a lot of questions (through PM) about the choices for our fleet and particularly helicopters;
Why ENSTROM and not Robinson, as ENSTROM is not currently imported in Malaysia?
ENSTROM helicopters are considered as very safe aircraft, with a standard behavior, good flying performances, excellent as trainers: it is the choice of numerous operators (police(s), Medic..and recently US Air Force).
On contrary, Robinson helicopters in spite of their very cheap operating costs, have not so good safety records and the handling performances require abilities above average (to such a point that FAA is requesting a minimum experience of 50 hours before flying the R44).
