Can I ask where you got your information? It is incorrect.
At
BCFT we offer all the courses from zero to frozen ATPL. Flying we offer PPL, hour building, MEP, IMC, night, CPL, MEIR all in Bournemouth, even on up through FI to IRI if so inclined! Groundschool can be distance learning or in the classroom. In fact we offer the widest range of courses on the airport, if not in the country!
CTC is probably irrelevant as they do not take on self-selected, self-funding students.
Low-Pass
I agree. Was working for SFT, lost £2800 (an MCC) as well as my job. I know people who lost well over £10,000, the maximum confirmed was £19,000. Avoid paying up front. When you land, have had your debrief and can log the time, pay the bill!
Best of luck, all, in getting your licences!
