BGS is one of the UK’s most highly regarded schools with a strong track record of training students and used by both UK and overseas students. There’s a reason all of the big 3 integrated school students pay for BGS software over and abuse their issues books. The 650 hours with 10% is fine for modular, you still have to pass the exam! I did integrated and it was the other way round, 90% classroom.
I’m afraid the school you went to were selling you snake oil, 1400 hours is a ludicrous amount of time to spend in the classroom doing what are at best GCSE level exams, you could get most of the way through a degree in that time. Are you actually a pilot and have you actually done the exams? If so you’ll know full well that 75% of the ATPL syllabus is utter guff with no relevance at all to flying a commercial airliner. It’s box ticking and to weed out those who can’t be bothered. Type rating is when it finally starts to get difficult and relevant.
Why so specific with 1400 hours, have you made that up because it’s 100 per module or have you seen it written down somewhere?
