Toad,

 

You might want to research that a little. First of all US employers will not recognize anything but US certificates. Due to current US aviation regulations. Next, as far as aviation goes, the US dollar goes further here an any place else. Why do you think there are so many flight schools here that cater to foreign students. The current increase in flight schools outside of the US, that cater to foreign students is mostly due to the current TSA requirements. Very few foreign schools have authority to issue US certificates and ratings. The only one I know of is Flight Safety's facilities in England and France. Simuflight's facility in Dubai, may be able to also. But they are few and far between.

Research Sallie Mae and other educational loan programs. But I would stay away from SSH.
