99jolegg,
the 'risk' is no different with an integrated candidate. any assessment prior to the course was done by a flight school with a huge vested interest. It has little credibility. Not knocking integrated courses - spend your money how you like.
Flight tests and exams on the other hand are done by an independent authority. Same standard for everybody in the UK.
It’s the equivalent of Cambridge or Oxford (the real Oxford, not the flying school) saying that they only want people from private school who once passed some puny entrance test, and not caring what their A-level results actually were. That would be ridiculous wouldn’t it?
