Hi Broomstick
I spoke to AOPA at the end of January and they sent me a list of training organisations that are running the course, I haven't followed any of them up yet, so I cannot comment on their response!
They sent me details via e-mail including an enrolment form which has to be completed and returned. You may have to sit a pre-entry examination but depending on your qualification you may be exempt from this.
Included in your £35 enrolment fee will be a guide to the AOPA G/I course and a syllabus of instruction (is this so your teacher knows what he is supposed to be teaching you!) Once your money is firmly in the hands of the fat controller and been used to buy sweets and baby cakes you receive your package!!!
