Extremely bad. The PPL course is not tailored at all as they state, there are rather strict theory and exam schedules with 100% attendance the first 6 months, making it less possible to fly. They take all money in advance, and after our class group had done 30+ hours they started asking for more money, to re-pay the rest up to 45 hours, that we had already paid in advance. On top of that there were smaller chances to fly due to the only single engine school plane wasnt available for months, and barely any instructors at all, all of them left. So they wanted more money delivering nothing. Also, they kept blaming us students for everything. But in fact, even the most available, fulltime student needed as long as 15 months to get a PPL. And that was the only student who got it during our 2-year period there. We were 3 students who left the school at the same time despite the school having a non-refund policy. So we filed official conplaints about the poor training abilities both to ARN and the Swedish Transport Agency and waiting for decisions from there. Our new school, Nordic Flight Training, and who know the owner of SSFA, have also been in touch with the authorities because many students have left SSFA for them. A few more are now about to leave. They keep you trapped by making you pay everything in advance. Its a family business where the owner doesnt accept taking any feedback or criticism at all, despite him not being so experienced within the flight sector, he only took over the school some 7 years ago without previous experience. Yet they are arrogant and went to the extent of writing expulsion letters to some of us a month AFTER leaving school and filing complaints, stating horrible lies about us without any single proof. We on the other hand have many written documents stating the opposite about us. This is criminal, defamation, and fraud. So dont get into this school, thats our advice. Its not at all the largest school, it offers practically nothing and is only focused on money.
