hi tom,
My experience of the school you mentioned is not a good one and i do not want to bore you with the details. If you do a search thred you will find a few schools recommended, one of which i believe mulitflight is good and also mike boulton in bournemouth, he has a great system of getting renewals completed without waisting your money and time. I dont have his number but Its somewhere on pprune if you do a search, I think his website is
www.sts.co.uk.
Good luck
