Yep they are a TRTO and have been largely successful in placing students. I remember seeing a year or so ago a covering memo about their 737 and A320 courses. Attached were the courses for the coming year and the number of places available on each. An instructor at the school had made a note of how many students had gotten work and where after having a meeting with GECAT. Most students seemed to be in gainful employment and were picked up before they had completed the course. Mytravel, BMI and Ryanair spring to mind. As far as I know GECAT have always preferred to get self sponsored students from the Cabair and the Oxfords of the world and it was usually on recommendation of the CFI at your school that you got called forward for an interview prior to handing over the dosh. At Cabair it didn't matter if you were modular of integrated. Can't say for Oxford.
