I did the latter part of my training at Stapleford , some of the hours building, the CPL, multi rating and the I/R.
Great school and top notch instructors who really know their stuff. I found them very flexible and will work hard to fit in with you and your availability.
I start the MCC and JOT with Astraeus in a few weeks so I cant comment on how good or bad they are other than to say, I am more than happy with the price they quoted me for those two courses.
Kilo if I can help you anymore feel free to send me a PM.
