I have been looking at integrated/modular training and have now decided to go modular. After contacting Orlando Flight Training for my initial PPL I was put off by the misleading way they portray the course, for instance, advertising it as being able to be completed in 21 days, yet when you examine closely the current averages are 5-6 weeks minimum. There are numerous other hidden costs and I would be loathe to give them any money.
My question was, can anybody advise me on a good JAA/PPL training course that can be taken quickly. I was looking at a number of areas and although I live in Hertfordshire, I would be prepared to travel. I would list the areas I am trying to look at as:
a) Economical and good value.
b) Schools either in UK, Australia, New Zealand or US, if they can be completed over a reasonable period (similar to OFT), but realistic timescales rather than promising one thing and the reality being totally different.
c) Somewhere close to where I reside if the course needs to be studied over a longer period.
Any help would be really appreciated. I am not looking to get the cost down to a real minimum and want to get a balance of economy with a good level of instruction so that I leave the course competent.
