Hi ba767,
I think you'll find that UKFT actually only offers FAA Ratings so you'd come away with a FAA PPL, which is quite valid to use in the UK but you can't add any JAA or CAA ratings to it, e.g. IMC. You can of course convert your FAA PPL to a JAA PPL by doing the Air Law, Human Peformance and RT written exams, RT practical and the JAA PPL Skills Test but this is extra cost.
If you carry out a search on UKFT you'll find plenty of info in other threads - always worth reading but you have to make up your own mind.
You may wish to consider some of the JAA Approved Schools, e.g. EFT, OFT, OBA, where you'd come away with a JAA PPL. Again, plenty of info in these pages, good and bad, on all of them.
Hope this helps,
