Wowzers a lot of anger in these posts people! I am in the market for either an APS MCC or MCC/JOC at the moment having just completed my CPL/MEIR last week :-) . I'm visiting all the main players here, Simtech, VA, Sky4U and CAE. I want to see the facilities before I hand over my cash. I have a lot friends who went to Simtech Aviation given their tenure in the business and in fairness the feedback has been good. Simtech offered me to come and visit and will even my pay my flights from London to see it. They seem confident that I'll be impressed with the facility and instructors I am also meeting VA although they can't guarantee a spin in the sim :-( . I don't want to do a specific Ryanair APS for the main fact that I want generic SOP's in case I don't pass the Ryanair assessment. At the end of the day I am spending the guys of 6k whoever I go with. That's a lot of money so I want to be sure it's money well spent.
