Full marks for enthusiasm and I hope your training goes well. However, if I may make an observation that you may not wish to hear and that is that I would be wary of full-time intensive courses at the PPL level where you 'would be flying Monday to Friday all day'.

Students differ widely in their ability to assimilate their training. IMHO you will take things in better if you approach your training giving yourself time between sorties to really absorb and reflect on what you have been taught. You may well find it more demanding than you are expecting. I would recommend a maximum of two flights a day. I speak as an ex-instructor and examiner.

That said, I learned to fly at Barton on an ad hoc basis, just down the road from yourself. Never did me any harm !

Best of luck.
