Just completed CPL theory at GTS

As with all these choises where ever you do your CPL theory and you pass then you will think that it is great!

Having said that, when I was looking there are only 3 places that actually do the CPL(A) theory - most places try to push the ATPL(A).

I chose GTS for the following reasons:
1. They let you pay in installments (3 modules)
2. They offer the most taught ground school (one week for each module)
3. They have very experienced instructors (20+ years flying each)
4. They were the only ones to send me a sample of the course material when I asked.

I have just sat my last 3 exams (10th and 11th May) at Gatwick - so fingers crossed. I am working full time, have family to support and have passed all the exams first time (so far - fingers crossed).

And of course I would recommend them - it is really great to be able to ask them any question and they can give you an answer immediately based on their flying experiences. E.g. Dave, an ex-RAF CFI / Jaguars / Lightnings / etc was explaining about gas turbine engine surge and recalled how a flame shot out of the front right intake of his Jaguar during a surge at 450kts!
