but maybe somewhere like bristol ground school would get me better results and I wouldn't have to pay for accommodation? but then I'd have to live at home
Hi The Jakes
I wouldn't recommend commuting from Southampton to Bristol, or anywhere further than a few miles really.
The ATPL courses are very intensive and require time in the evenings, for most people, as well as the time in class if residential.
I do know people who commendably have commuted on a full time (or residential) course, but they would be the first to admit it was extra pressure.
Personally I would short list the schools you fancy and visit them, regardless of location, then make your decision. If you end up staying in accomodation to do the course, that can be a good thing too, fewer distractions.
Feel free to email me or PM if you need more help.
Regards
