Don't go integrated. You don't get any paper in your hand until the end of the course, and if they wash you out for whatever reason you have to start again without a PPL having lost a ton of money (got a couple of students in that position right now. I get fed up having to repair the damage caused by other schools). Otherwise, please make sure you exercise normal business caution and avoid paying money up front. Look what happened at Cabair and what may happen in the future to one or two schools that have already been mentioned here.
