I'll just throw my usual twopence in and mention
the place where I did my training. Got through it all in less than three weeks, including theory, cheaper than the UK, no visas, and only a Ryanair flight away from Britain. Oh, and not only I've got me a licence... I can actually fly
I don't have anything to do with the guys above btw, other than being a satisfied customer. Hope this helped.
