Derek Davidson-Bournemouth
I did all exams last year with DD, prior to going to the US to get my PPL in a month (with Night rating) in Aug. I passed all exams first time and the instruction was excellent. Contrary to what one reply suggested, I didn't feel as though I was only taught to pass the exams and I don't feel that I was disadvantaged in my subsequent flying (even though I had zero hours when I did the exams). You don't actually need to buy the text books as those are provided, although I did buy and read all of mine before attending. I now have 90 hours total time and do find it useful to refer back to the books from time to time to check/refresh things. I would certainly recommend DD's course and the local B&B was only about £20/night and very convenient. If you do it in one week (which is definately feasible) you would only have one lot of travel to pay for also. Hope that's helpful. Good luck
