Consideration Concerning Grupo One Air's International APTL Program

Hello everyone, so it has been a lifelong goal of mine to become a commercial pilot and although I am a 38-year-old man, that spark has remained unchanged. Regardless of the fact that I've worked in the business and logistics field my entire life, I simply could not forego that dream. As a younger man, my father could not afford to send me to flight school, but I was and still am determined to be a part of this brilliant field. Even my namesake is indicative of a bird of prey, but that's just a pleasant little quirk.

My life branched out, I fought hard, put my siblings through higher education, tended to the needs of my parents and bought them a home (I am the eldest). Finally, I am at a crossroads and I am anxious. My youngest brother has finally chosen to come home, to tend to our parents -- for the first time in my life, I am free to choose.

The reason for this post is that I've finally accumulated enough finances for this path, I've done my research and I've figured that Grupo One Air is the academy for me. It falls well within my financial limits, the weather is incredible (obviously a secondary perspective) and according to several sources within the field; it is a top-notch academy.

Their International Airline Pilot University APTL program is comprehensive and comes with a business degree in Aviation Management. It's one hell of a financial investment for myself and I need further thoughts on the matter:

Has anyone here attended this particular academy?

What are your thoughts on their programs?

Have you taken this particular course and is it worthy of the price point?

Will my age affect my employability?

I understand that employment is dependent on individual merit, but how difficult was it to find employment post-graduation?

At the end of the day, these academies are businesses, I seek a more personal view of this particular academy in order to circumvent the possible embellishments. Forgive the long post, other perspectives/feedback from pilots and students are important. Thank you all for your time and patience.
