Mate,
I'd ask for a refund.............. seriously. Tell them if they don't refund your money for this BS, you'll tell the other students what a bunch of crooks they are. Then change school because if they have started ripping you off even before you leave the ground, I can't just imagine what other stupid schemes to get your money they have in their bag of tricks. You'll be broke before you even finish your PPL.
