I'm planning to do the Bristol D/L groundschool next year, working 2 days a week & studying 3 days a week, then gliding/hourbuilding the other 2.

I favour this way as opposed to full-time learning as I think it'll give me more flexibity - i.e. if the weather's good on Thursday, I can nominate that day to do some hourbuilding, and study on Sunday instead when the weather's poor.

But on the flip side, I'm going to need more self-discipline studying on my own, than I would in a classroom with other students.

Also - Bristol sound very good from what I've read in more than one post here, and are also cheaper.

I've allowed 12 months to do this - bearing in mind it's all relative (to my learning style/discipline etc) has anyone followed a similar plan to good results?
