The bottom of the Flight 2000 site homepage says:

"20. ARE THERE ANY TRICKS THAT I SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR AT OTHER SCHOOLS?

Things that you need to be wary of with other flight training schools include things such as:

...Being asked to put a lump sum in your account, and not being able to get it back if you need to.

Keep an eye on the flying syllabus against what you are doing, if there are large discrepancies you want to know why. It is possible, in the larger schools, that you will be taken flying more than necessary, as this is a way of increasing income. Instructors generally get paid for the hours that they fly, plus they are doing the job to build hours and get to their next goal sooner. Make sure they do not do this at your expense, which is why we have a detailed syllabus...."

. .Enough said.
