Jonny, I'm in the same boat.
I have looked at the hours / reviews from ex-students / cost etc and I think EFT would be my best option (mainly due to the fact I'll work there as a CFI and gaining a lot of Multi time).
With feedback that cloudhopper and tommyboy ae giving I'm really having second thoughts.
I wrote an e-mail to Aviator and the response didn't answer my question ... as if they were hiding something (this put EFT back as favorites), I might even consider Spain or simply do the JAA route in sunny UK/South Wales (I guess that will mean 1hr+ in the car to Bristol/Exeter).
Keep the feedback coming guys, it's a big help to people like myself and many others.
Wonder how Cpt Relax is out there? ... He is on the Multi-APP I believe and did his research for quite some time.
Get in touch old friend!!!
Thanks
