The groundschool in Jerez when it opened was a shambles as JAR came in and everyone knew that. At the time VFE was there things were not good.
Things are very different now.
If I had to spenf 14 months learning to fly in one place then between Oxford, Bedford and Jerez I would choose the latter I think. There is badger all to choose between them in terms of what they offer - so you may as well be in the sun with cheap beer.
But then I'd save myself time and money and customer satisfaction and go Modular where the customer is king and you don't get cabin fever.
Same hours, same license, same syllabus, same job prospects - £20,000 cheaper. Its really not difficult.
Cheers
