Hi sundstrand! Wondering if you have pushed through with the applications? Im also considering northern lights as they offer one of the most reasonable fees among all the schools ive researchedplus they seem to have a decent reputation. Im also pinoy and i worked in SV too but im sure magkaiba tayo ng trabaho doon.
Im also wondering about the path of international students after graduating from the program since there is a 48-month trainee period before one can write for the ame license. Based on my understanding, Upon graduation, a student is credited with 18 months of trainee experience. What happens then to the remaining 30 months given that international students are only given a work permit up to the length of study of a program and in the ame program's case, is only 16 months. How can we earn the remainder 14 months (or longer since its not that easy to land an apprenticeship right away) to be eligible to take the exams? Im not quite certain if there may be a change in visa status or what not since we are already skilled workers by then?
Thanks, i hope anybody who has gonen through this experience, especially international studetns, can shed some light. Cheers!
