I imagine it must be tough to win biz away from the likes of Bristol... they seem to have top quality product and excellent reputation for the modular guys and gals out there looking for a course....and if you are going integrated then you don't have the option of using the PGS team even if you want to.
Its a shame though and all the best for the future for the instructors impacted by the closure.
I hope that you were right about less students starting down the fATPL road but I for one won't be holding my breath!
