Drizzle, I believe he was just making a suggestion that he may like to have a look at... especially seeing as FL offers training at 1/2, 1/3, somtimes 1/4 the cost of a standard PPL over here!
But in terms of UK training, I couldn't falter what any of the guys above have put forward. I for one was fortunate enough to pay an up front dough and get my money's worth, but be very very wary - best advice is (as already suggested) STEER CLEAR OF ANY SCHOOL MAKING MANDAT. A PAYMENT IN FULL!
Cheers, Jack.
