Just for the record I studied at CATS and found their standard of training to be 1st class. I have to take my hat off to Stuart and all the other staff there. They have adopted a new take on training which seems to blow away most educational institutions. Having been through from school to University my impressions of CATS & their 3 stage course is outstanding.
The course is so well structured, that it puts you at ease and takes away the rigours of the so called "Problems encountered when studying for an ATPL"
OK, so it generally takes approx 2 months more to complete the 3 stage course, but in the grand scale of things it makes much more sense. This was reflected by everyone in my class achieving a 100% pass rate on 2 of 3 stages, and a pass rate of above 90% on our last stage.
I'm not here to blow sunshine up CATS's a$$, but just to say I think that 3 stages is a much better option, & if I had to do it again, i'd have no hesitation in going there again.
