Hey Littco

I'm glad things are going well for you at BGS. Looks like you're doin something right.

I think what it bolis down to, is what suits each individual. 3 stgs suited me, 2 suits you. But to say doing it over 2 stages is harder is something I don't agree with. I can imagine that the absorption of knowledge is far greater, but that does not make it harder. It's how you structure your time and efforts into the learning process that makes it hard or easy for an individual. I learnt that at Uni, & when I was presented with the choice of a 2 or 3 stg groundschool, 3 made sense to me, as it gave me that little bit of breathing space.

In my experience, standing outside exam centres, I happened to see guys whom I knew were on 2 stg courses, going over & over feedback qu's, prior to an exam. I was in a far more luxurious position of not having to "Panic Revise" one hr prior to an exam, as the 3 stg course had given me the time to absorb all the knowledge I needed.

Needless to say I'm sure they all did well, but looking at the bigger picture, what do airlines want - People who know their stuff, & can construct answers based upon knowledge, or somebody who can't remember whether the ans was A or B?

Sorry to go on for so long, but I just felt I should make myself heard on this matter.

Good luck with the rest of your course & hope you pass the lot 1st time
