Do the integrated lot gain any 'real' P1 time

I didn't 'read between any lines'; I simply read what you wrote, and found it to be completely biased and lacking in any factual basis.

As you were specifically comparing and contrasting integrated schools vs 'other options', it is rather disingenuous to use your bad experience of one nameless PPL school as a basis to pitch modular CPL schools against integrated schools. Thats all, no flame war intended - simply correcting unfair comparisons.

We're all entitled to our opinions, and I didn't 'jump' to mine as you suggest.

HB - you've chosen well in Stapleford. If you have any ability and drive, you'll achieve everything that you could have done at an integrated school, in less time, and for significantly less cost. The uniform (or lack thereof) makes jack all difference to the end result! Good luck.
