FTI, CPT, or HPA?

$4995, $7300, or $7380? I've heard they all offer great training. Why the huge price difference with FTI? Are there "hidden costs" or is it really only $4995?

I've read all the pros/cons on the previous threads--just not sure meeting HR is worth the extra $2300. Please enlighten me.

thanks.

I went to FTI and was very pleased with the experience. I am sure the other big places are fine, but the price difference and a friend's recommendation made the decision easy for me. I wrote them a check the first week of training for the full amount, and that was it. No hidden anything. Obviously if you needed any additional training it would cost more but I don't believe that is the norm. Everyone from my group had no problems. If you want any more specific info shoot me a PM.

Good luck, and tell Sherri hello.

Before you pay for your type rating, I would try to win the drawing at HPA's open house. My friend told me about the door prize last week. Too bad I'm just one year late. I'm telling everyone, because I know the hardship of paying for the type rating. Good luck

I wouldn't call CPT a "Big" place. The classes have no more than 3 or 4 people.

K&S in Phoenix is where I went. Cost $7050 and definitely worth it! Incredible instruction and mostly SWA instructors. From my class of five we all got hired and I highly recommend this place to any one who wants to do the type!
