WARNING! SCAM IN CORPORATE AVIATION TRAINING COURSES.
Since aproximately one year ago, and due to the continuous success of our work in Corporate Aviation, other types of similar training courses are spreading through different flight academies in Spain.
These flight academies even have copied our program downloading it from our website. They have copied the "know how", without paying attention to the intellectual rights of property.
Because this is not a regulated education, any person, entity, or enterprise may copy, re-design a training course and sell it, as this were their own, without taking care of the quality and their contents and the teaching staff qualification.
Furthermore, there are some cases where the flight academy appoints a low profile and non-qualified teacher. Even in a proven case, where the real professional background is deliberately hidden, making a false statement on the corresponding website, which is difficult to prove by any young trainee, like for instance, an Inflight Service Instructor / Supervisor of a worldwide recognized airliner like Fly/Emirates and/or simply misleading his resume.
All this with the unique aim and purpose in getting quick and easy incomes even commiting fraud to those they say to defend, their students.
This is to warn anybody who wants to get a proper training by a qualified professional, and gets meanwhile, a fake corporate aviation triaining course in one of those flight academies, entities, and/or persons with a suspicious background on this business. By the fact, there are already some claims of fraud made in relation to this, to the correspondent Consumer Counsellling Bureau.
As said I can only tell those who want to get a proper training on this passionate field in Corporate Aviation, that you must get the information related, first. Ask for the training program, who the teacher is, which background he/she's has as well as which is the flight academy experience on this matter...etc. and try to avoid to be "pulled the wool over your own eyes".
These types of misleading advertising are not only blameworthy acts in terms of honesty and ethical behaviour but also needs to be claimed to the Consumer's Offices OCU, FACUA, immediately.
