Before you part with your hard earned cash, I would suggest that you visit the establishments on your shortlist.
A 30 minute "trial flight" in the simulator should invariably be part of the conducted tour.
Ask about how successful their customers have been in securing that all important first job. Personnal recommendations from trusted friends always goes a long way in the decision making process.
Besides Facebook, LinkedIn is another source of valuable research.
The bottom line is that you are the customer.........spend your money wisely
