Where to start?!

[Guest CFI0607]

Hi,

 

so one of the reasons i joined this forum was to find some advice or inside knowlege on getting CASA certificates even though i have all my training up to Multi engine instructor complete (FAA). I came to the US of A to do my flight training and be with extended family, but now im looking into comming back to Aus!

 

As far as i understand, i will have to take the knowlege test and a flying test, pretty much a checkride right? but what im not sure on is how many check rides. One for each rating? Can i use all my flight experience i have logged?

 

And what should i study and where do i get the resources to study that?

 

Any info would be great!
