Hi Guys

Does anyone know where i can get a .pdf copy of Sybex CCNA Study Guide 7th Edition?

@ Garbigarba

The basic entry requirements for NCAT and most flying schools is ur O' levels including Math, Physics and English (geography is and added advantage) , the in house Aptitude Test/ oral Assessment and a valid class A medical which in NCAT's case is part of the medical test . Having a B.Sc in the Sciences if anything should be an academic advantage but really isn't the priority of the examiners.

I must tell u that entry into NCAT is competitive both academics and contact wise, we had about 1500 or more people writing the test and only 40 got picked which was b'cos the sch had not admitted flying students in a while, the standard class is 20-24 per class. and weeding is continuous (i.e if u don't meet up at any point in the training u go home). I personally had a B.Sc in computer Science and ended up in a class of 33 with only 7 graduates and only 23 (3 Graduates) are left in class 1.8yrs down the line (excluding me).

Yes Training in Zaria takes a little longer than 18 months for PPL/CPL/IR/ME due weather availability of AVGAS and other factors but that is gradually changing with the new administration and recent acquisition of new training Aircrafts and i also believe it's a cheaper alternative. yes 7.5 million is a lot of cash but when u consider the fact that u get feeding , accommodation, course materials et all and about 300hrs flight time 50hrs of which should be ME on the Beach Baron (if u'r sharp enough) i think it's a good bargain. Plus u could pay in bits and source for sponsors while continuing ur training (i.e of course with the consent of the rector and the Head of sch)

Forms are sold once a year at NCAT and other Aviation parastatals such as NCAA/NAMA offices. It's been a while so no concrete info but i do know that there are currently about 3 courses on ground SP-24A should be rounding up in Oct-Nov, that leaves SP-25 and then the Airforce PPL class. SP-26 is not operational yet, they sold forms and wrote the entrance exam (i'm not sure if they've done the interview) but it would be a while b4 they start flying so u have to be patient if u'r thinking of NCAT except u have long legs and 7.5m handy. Or u could just apply for the PPL course at 2.5m (still alot right?)

Let keep our fingers crossed and see what ilorin has to offer ( there's a new flying school kicking off there, i think the lagos liaison office is at 170 awolowo road Ikoyi)

I Have to go now, hope this has been helpful

Hi Guys, thanks for keeping the flying dream alive

@Pilot 955

Thanks for your contributions, i'm also an Ex-boy who didn't quite make it to the Academy as a regular (NMS/95/3777). I have a BSc in Computer Science and a couple of pre PPL hours under my belt but havent flown since Dec 17 2009 due finances and other issues plus my SPL expires in march 2011. So here's my question what are the flying prospects for short service officers above 25yrs of age in the NAF (i'll be 25 in October). I never really liked the SS thing (u know now AKA or nothing) but judging by my current financial situation, it may be the best chance to continue my flying dream and learn acrobatics at the same time.

I heard there was a selection exercise in march 2010, any idea when the next intake would be

NCAT entry exam questions usually comprise of basic O'Level Maths, Physics and English, all OBJ. Geography may be an added advantage because of navigation questions u'll meet later on.

Hi Guys, thanks for all the Info, good to see we all have our thinking caps on!!!

Well i'm in a bit of a pickle, i have a 4yr old 2.2 computer science degree, 2yrs work experience (1yr in marketing, 1yr in software Support/maintenance) and 100k in my pocket(Budget). I've been out of the market for 2yrs and need to decide what certification could put me back on track.

I started out with a flare for programming so i have thought extensively about doing an MCPD in C#.Net/ASP.Net, but given the trend in the Nigerian IT industry (to the best of my knowledge) with regards to developer's enumeration i'm beginning to ask myself if it's worth it.

so i'm wide open for suggestions, your contributions are sincerely appreciated

Best Regards
