Postponing and finding a more suitable date at a second moment is not a given. The school is very busy and they try to keep the intake to a maximum of 9 persons per class per month with the aim to assure a steady pace of training with no interruptions. If you finish with ATPL exams earlier there might always be the odd cancellation and you can get in a course earlier, but that does not always happen.
Currently waiting period is almost 1year and 4 months!!
You also did your training with them?
