Pilot Ground Training
Hi suedee
This is my 2nd reference to these guys. I posted about these guys last week (or was it this week, they all merge into one these days).
Having done a bit of digging the way that curious people do and finding out who they are I can say whole heartedly that They will teach you well for the ATPL. How do I know ?? ... Because They taught me. I'm no rocket scientist and I got an average in my ground school exams that shocked me (it was good, not bad, lol)
You are right to be cautious about a new outfit offering to take several thousands of your cash in return for some lessons. But it is my understanding that to teach the subjects as these guys plan to under this umbrella, you need to be approved by the CAA or JAA (Don't quote me).
I suggest you contact them and find out the names of the people who will be teaching you and ask around if anyone knows of them, do the research.
I am not linked with this organisation.
All the best
