Enlighten us Blue robin!?, this rumour seems to pop up about every 3 months about Aerofan but nothing ever materialises, up to now its all been untrue.
Plenty of friends of mine have succesfully completed the multi engine IR and gone on to fly with airlines, proof that they cant be all that bad.
As for James Ward at Aerofan( english speaking rep) im glad he is being upfront about the ATPL course in english, its true that they only run it if there is enough interest. I do truly like the school, good guys, professional training and very helpful, but a experience like i had with them initially when they let me down on the groundschool course can spoil your impression of a flightschool.
I ended up at Aeromadrid on their groundschool course. A very good professional flight school with very good lecturers, all serving military and airline pilots. Now heres the problem if you are a Modular student, they put you in a groundschool class with intergrated students. The intergrated course is typically around 18months to 2 years. the lectures are spread over around the 18 month period, and then in spain, the exams are only every 3 months. So, lets say you sit in 1 year of lectures then take half your exams then the other half 3 months later, even presuming you pass them all, its taken you 18 months just to get the exams done, slightly more than the advertized 6 months by Aerofan!!. Believe me , i cant tell you how frustrating it is!. My Advice, if you are modular, do your ATPLs and CPL in the UK then by all means do your Multi /IR at Aerofan , otherwise your in for the long haul!.. If your a Intergrated student, Aeromadrid is a good choice but expensive!
