quifflegend,
Before Paris jumps on my back
Not at all, far from it - you have given Sainty43 advice and that was what he(she?) was asking for.
What I do have a problem with (and this certainly does not apply to your post) is when someone comes onto PPRuNe and then relays a story about an organisation they have heard about from thier dad's friend's auntie, who had been speaking to a bloke she knows in the local supermarket.
I went to OBA and it worked for me - intensive courses in a foreign country may be some people's idea of a nightmare?
Whatever way Sainty43 elects to go - best wishes, and above all else, enjoy yourself.
