SEND CLOWNS
I have waited 24 hours before replying to your post because I have no wish to be drawn into another long and dreary argument with you. But some of your point require comment.

Plenty of people here remember the past - it was almost exactly 3 years ago, wasn't it? How much did students lose by that?
UNQUOTE
The strange thing here is that you appear to have forgotten all about the past.
Was it not you and most of BCFT who actually worked for SFT?
When the first rumours of impending problems started to surface in this forum, was it not you who shouted them down?
Did you not claim that no such problems existed, but might be created if groundless rumours were to spread?
And after the company had folded was it not you who spent several months constantly arguing that no students had lost money, and that the company was basically sound and simply had a small cash flow problem?
Was it not you who suddenly changed your tune and started to attack your old friend and previous employer, only after taking employment with BCFT?
Now here's the difficult one Clowns; Readers who have followed the whole sorry story over the past three years might be wondering whether you were being very foolish then, or are being very treacherous now. HMMMMMMM, now that IS a difficult one!

Compare our management. A good example, the reason we only have small classes is that our management actually listen to us, and operates the schools how the instructors think they can teach, rather than for pure profit.

Then why are you unwilling to allow all of our students (EPTA, BCFT and GTS) to use an EPTA classroom as an exam centre? It is offered free of charge and we are content for bookings to be made on a first come first served basis. Compare this with OATS who make a charge to the CAA for their exam room and still get first chance of booking places.
The offer is still open. We will provide a room every second month when our students take exams. BCFT can provide a room on alternate months when few if any EPTA students will be taking exams.
BCFT students should have some very serious discussions with with their school managemnt if they want an exam centre at Bournemouth. It can probably be in place by January if BCFT agree. But will they?

The classrooms are approved by the CAA for 24 or 25 students, UNQUOTE
This just illustrates your lack of knowledge of how the system works. The CAA do not approve classrooms for any specific number of students. There is however an overall limit of 24 students in any ATPL groundschool class, without exceptional approval from the CAA.
But I suppose they might impose a specific limit if they found that a given room was unusually small. If they imposed any specific limit on the BCFT classrooms then this is very unusual. They certainly imposed no such limit on the very large rooms available at EPTA.
