PPL Training
I am very familiar with the operation at Cumbernauld, and the difficulties in achieving PPL training in the uk. I think you may encounter the same issues at another school, although Prestwick Flight Centre appears to be reasonable in its approach. I have always stated that there are five main issues with training in the uk. 1. Weather, 2. Your time and availability, 3. Aeroplane availability, 4. Instructor avialability, 5. If none of the other four points merge, then recency, i.e. continuity. 32 hours does seem high without going solo, and you should approach your current school and find answers. Ted is a good guy and should give you an accurate appraisal. I faced the same when training many years ago at Glasgow Flying Club. I was fortunate enough to buy my own aeroplane, and an instructor who taught me to fly in it. I got my ppl within 45 hours. This may be an option for you, say take a share in something, then source an instructor to teach you. They do exist. Wish you well.
