Hi there,
I'm currently doing my PPL with Almat at Coventry. It's a very well-run, friendly club with sensible prices for instruction and aircraft hire. However, the standard of professionalism is still very high in all areas.
Don't expect to brag about a 'first solo after six hours' with Almat though - there's a comprehensive check list of lessons that you've got to complete that will take you between 12 and 15, but at least you have the security of knowing that you're ready when it does happen. (For example, no going solo until you've completed the full stall package).
All in all, I'm very happy with my choice of club. If you want more info goto:
