Hi, are you talking CPL or PPL? If your talking PPL I would recommend Derek Davidson down at Bournemouth alongside the website pplcruiser (I have seen this site advertised on Pprune). They will both get you through your exams quickly :ok:
Regards.
yeah i have my ppl and class1, just just looking too do the 14 JAA exams for the CPL, does Bournemouth have a good pass rate? or has anybody been there who could give an opinion.
Was going to go FTE in jerez and do a integrated course but choose the modular route so i dont get in debt, and i can do all my work flying in the uk so it looks better on my cv

I also thoroughly recommend GTS at Bournemouth. Did my CPL theory there - passed all subjects first time with marks between 90 and 100% (and I'm an old-timer long since out of formal education). Instructors are all extremely knowledgable and give excellent lectures and back-up. Standards are high (as one would expect from ex-RAF), so the process is demanding, but it is also great fun and very rewarding. Overall a top-notch outfit.
Isn't GTS a distance ground school training? im looking for a full classroom based course as id really find it hard to revise at home with having 10 brothers and sisters all younger than me :ugh:

Hey mate. so have you been in Bournemouth at BCFT?
Full-time ATPL (http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/lmbs/subjects/aviation/residential-atpl.cfm)
Have heard good things from friends, no personal experience.

If you live in the North, Air Service Training at Scone Aerodrome, Perth offer a full structured modular course or a full time ground school.

Looks like CPL has himself sorted out - so closing this thread.
