The best ground school
Off to Oxford in July for the residential groundschool. Had a look round and although the modular flying programme didn't appeal in the slightest, the groundschool most certainly did. The classes look well organised and structured as well as several flying buddies (who have already been through the course) not being able to reccommend them highly enough. Weather it's Oxford, Altlantic or even flaming NAC, if you look around, have a chat with a few people and it looks like you'll both gel, then chances are you'll be a happy camper. I'm not 100% sure a phone call is the best way to assess a schools worthiness of your £2-5000 hard earned cash, have a look and see if 6 months of your life would be best spent there or somewhere else. If you're doing distance learn, I'd be even more likely to sus out who's behind the scenes in terms of support and preparation.
Kind Regards
