Why not

Why can I not have a complimentary video of the CFI doing the CAA test route on the aircraft that I will use so that I can learn faster and watch it at home at my leisure................?

Is it true that this course is largely 'teaching by assessment' - you will watch me while I fly, and say what I did wrong?

In my training pack is there a decent text book that will teach me all about the IR and test I am thinking of a modern one written in the last year or so?

Why does the simulator use so much electricity? (hence the cost)
Why is the aircraft dissimilar to the sim in so many respects..

Why will I have to do a multicrew IR once I have finished the course and are the instruments the same in modern airliners these days as ME light aircraft ?

Now that NDBs are being withdrawn in many parts of the world -will you teach me none-precision approaches using GPS.

Will you let me fly your twin on the test route SOLO the day after I have passed the IR in IMC/IFR - why not?

With less than 700 hrs can I conduct a simmilar trip for real as an air taxi pilot under IFR conditions exercising my CPL/IR?

I understand that the ICAO Multi Pilot Rating will make this rating uneccessary for some airline pilots who will fly into LHR etc will you teach that here?

Why are so few UK PPLs doing this course (only 20 per annum) in the UK out of 60,000 pilots?

Are there any plans to update this course in consultation with the CAA - to give me more value for money?
