Does Choice Of Flying School Really Matter?

Firstly i would like to say hello as this is my first post on PPRuNe

I appologise if this has been on the forums before, i had a quick look and couldn't see anything recently. I am currently PPL/IMC/NIGHT and studing the last of my ATPLs which i should (hopefully) pass in the new year. At the moment I am trying to decide which company to do my CPL/IR/FIC with. Unfortunately i dont have lots a spare $$$ to do my training at OAT. What im asking is does it really matter to airlines where you do your training?

I know some prefer Oxford or Scabair, but in the end surely any flying school that has gone throught the accreditation process to run a JAA CPL/IR course would be ok Ummm maybe i should try to stop thinking so logically, it seems like the rest of industry doesn't!!

Just wondering also if anyone on here has done any training with Stapleford or Wycombe Air Centre? What are their courses like?

Thanx....
