Recommended Schools
By all means go abroad, it hurts to say it but it can be worthwhile. As often the case however I agree with Ghengis, you become a better pilot by training where you intend to fly.
My recommendations to potential students always include:
Exams and medical first.
Never go to a school that guarantees a PPL for a fixed price, even if they undertake to pay for the extra hours themselves.
Never pay in advance for the full course, pay day by day or better still as you fly the hours.
Pay by credit card if paying in advance. If this excedes your limit, put the cash into your credit card account in advance, which has the effect of increasing how much you can spend.
I hope the reasons are obvious.
