Its such a shame that yet another FTO in Ireland is getting a bad name for itself. Flight training in Ireland is a joke!
I completed my ME/CPL/IR with a small school in Bournemouth, after being frustrated with my PPL experiences at another FTO in Ireland.
Only two students per Instructor and our Instructor was with us from first thing in the morning until we finished for the day. Briefings were all part of the hourly hire rate. No problem even asking one of the other Instructors for help on something. In fact, if they saw you in a briefing room, they'd generally pop their head in and ask how you were getting on. In my opinion, that's the way any flight school should be run.
