Just continue with your training wherever it is. The most important thing is to keep consistency, and moving between airfield types only adds to confusion.

When you start your cross-country flights you will see major differences in RT between airfields. Just concentrate on being clear and never be afraid to ask for clarification.

I'm not happy about some of the posts where they say that they like to have ATC sort things out for them. In the terms expressed, and for low-hour pilots it does have a lot to commend it.

But it can also lead to difficulties further down the line, as, as pilots, we have to learn to think for ourselves and reject clearances that we consider unsafe.
