| Review: | Cheap isn't always good. It was easy to be lured by the price. It was less than what I expected and less than other schools I contacted. I guess this is an example of the old saying "if it is too good to be true, it probably is". Ultimately the reality was quite different. The cost was much higher than expected and more than I would have spent flying at one of the quality schools at Tamiami. This was just a bad experience over all. My instructor was good and the offices are nice so it was easy to believe in the beginning. It wasn't long before reality set in and the condition of the planes and how maintenance is handled became an issue. Things are disorganized. You never know who owns the plane you are flying, who insures it, if at all or who is responsible for it. I am flying at another school now and what a difference. If I had only known. Here are some links to follow for more information on one of their recent accidents. Apparently there have been several. http://www.justnews.com/news/24676408/detail.html http://cbs4.com/local/plane.crash.miami.2.1866914.html |

This place is the worst,THe laters news is that this last C-152 crash could had benn avoided but like always Mr Dean and his Dog Mr Weslay only care about money and for that reazon the let one of the studednts in this fly off the grounded list thxs god that nonone got kill. What we need is the FAa TO STOP PLAYING GAMES AND CLOSE THE SCHOOL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILL. tHE TESTING CENTER WAS CLOSE BY THE FAA 2 WEEKS AGO FOR NOT MEETING THE STANDARTS. WE urge everyone to be carefull before doing busness here trought any of the agents in india. remember they have too many hidden charges and you get to find out when you get here and they keep harasing you with more money or your visa is cancell , tnhats how they keep you and one must be carefull not to get kill in one of the poor maintain aircrafts . |

THis is Thw WORST school, Last week the had another accident and this is all Mr Deans and His Dog MR Weslay wich still chasing all the female studnets like always. One of the students in the last crash was grouded bcs of money in his acct was dissapiring and after him puting mr dean in his place he got ungrounded and the crash. This school had many accidents before and maybe the FAA is so blind that they are waiting for someone to get kill before the do somthing about it. I urge everyone to be carefull and not to go to any of the agents in India they all are in the same game of hidden charges, specialy when you get to miami and the school harasses you for more money and if you say anything they will say ohh we are cancelling your visa is too much for any student . please do not come here this place is the WORST OF THE WORST. mR dEAN YOU ARE ONE PAKISTANY THAT DESERVES TO BE IN JAIL FOR ALL THE STALING AND HARSMANT THAT WE HENT TROUGHT |

Hello ALL I have interacted with many students who have graduated from Dean International and none of them has mentioned anything negative about it. I wonder whether any of you have actually trained with them??? The numbers trained by Dean in itself bears testimony of their efforts. |

Could you please suggest few good schools to choose from? What are your opinions about Aviator college, FL? |

this negative comments only come from students who didnt pass their checkrides because they didnt study. perhaps they werent born to become pilot. moving on |
