Hi everyone,

I'm frustrated with my PPL(H) journey and need advice.

I started training at one school, completed 44 hours and all CAA theory. Due to lack of instructors I moved.

I explained I needed consistent instruction to prepare for the skill test.

Instead I flew ~25 more hours, about 13 with one instructor who was often late, complained, and there were uncomfortable drinking issues.

I also had short sessions with multiple instructors despite requesting consistency.

Now I have ~69 hours, theory, medical, radio licence, ICAO Level 5, but still not finished.

I paused training due to accommodation costs in Europe.

I'm looking for an honest European helicopter school to finish PPL(H).

I need clear upfront info:

hourly cost incl fuel

instructor cost

accommodation & transport costs

extra fees

realistic hours to skill test

ability to fly consistently with one instructor

I know hours can't be guaranteed; I just want transparency.

I don't want to restart plans after spending money.

If anyone trained at a good school in Czech Republic, Greece, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain or elsewhere, I'd appreciate recommendations.

Also instructors: with ~69 hours, theory, medical, radio, ICAO 5, what should a student be ready for before skill test?

Just trying to finish and find a trustworthy school.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in studying Electrical Engineering in the Netherlands in English. I'm 34M looking to start with a diploma or associate degree and then continue to a bachelor's degree later.

Which universities or universities of applied sciences (HBO) would you recommend? I'd also like to know which schools have a good reputation, offer practical training, and have good job opportunities after graduation.

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm looking to meet some active people in Den Helder who enjoy sports and trying different activities. It would be great to have a small group to go cycling, hiking, running, gym, diving, or just get outdoors and stay active together. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, let me know!

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about becoming a commercial diver in the Netherlands and would like to hear from people working in the industry.

I'm a PADI Scuba Instructor, so I know recreational and commercial diving are very different. I'd appreciate any advice on training, job opportunities, and whether it's a good career.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I recently got an Insta360 X5, and I’d love to improve my videography skills. I’m looking for advice from people who have experience with 360 cameras or action cameras in general.
I’m interested in learning things like:
How to capture more cinematic shots
Camera settings and shooting techniques
Storytelling and shot composition
Editing workflows
Best apps or software (Insta360 Studio, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, etc.)
YouTube channels, online courses, or creators worth following
Whether it’s beginner-friendly advice or more advanced techniques, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Even small tips that made a big difference for you would be great.
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to learning from the community.
