I completed all ground training, CPL, IR and MCC with Oxford, modular - and if I was to again I would certainly do it with them!
I am not sure why people complain - as said above the only gripes you can have with oxford are already well published - and as such expected and accountable when choosing a flight school.
Yes, they are more expensive, and yes, you will not complete in the 6 weeks quoted - but surely if you have done any research at all you will know this before you go.
The groundschool tuition was excellent, truely. Only one instructor, who despite being a great guy, some in my class weren't happy with - and we had him changed. No problems, no hard feelings.
Flying tuition is more down to individual instructors - not in quality, but in how many delays you may take. The tuition is all extremely good.
Despite what people may tell you, if you do your trainig with the school - and heres they key bit, have a good relationship with the school, they DO help find work - even to modular guys.I'm talking from experience here. However, if you are confrontational, loud mouthed and do your CPL/groundschool elsewhere - you cannot expect that help.
The sims are just procedural trainers - perhaps they do put a little too much emphasis on them and some more seneca time would be ideal for some. I really cannot accept peoples comments about instruments being in the different places from the seneca causing a problem though! For christ's sake! If that is an issue then you will struggle with the IR regardless. There is not a huge amount of difference, and if you cannot adapt your scan ever so slightly, having benefited from the things you can learn in the sim that you can't always in the aircraft (yes there are some!) then I really dont know what to say to you!
In summary - if you prepare yourself before for the bad sides you will not be dissapointed with the equipment or tuition you recieve, in fact you will be a happy customer!
