Flying Lion, I completely agree that a school should have very high standards. However, you fail to justify how a mock test with an instructor involves an EXTRA charge of £100. There is a lot of rhetoric about the high pass rate of your school, but there is no explination as to why there is an extra charge. You can acheive the same standards without the charge.
what you are paying for is a very experienced examiner
No, they may well be an examiner, but they are there as an instructor. The instruction cost is included in the hourly rate. When they are using the privilage of their examiner stauts (ie examining) then they get their extra monies in the correct manner. I have yet to hand over cash to any of my CAA examiners.
Anyway, since when was the instruction rate dependent upon their experience? News to me.
What made me laugh was the explaination of why they only accept cash! We know why! The idea that a student could pay by card with the school and then the school get charged by the examiner (like fuel / landing fees / egineering costs etc) is completely absurd! That would be on the books....
As usual , never let the truth get in the way of a good story!!!
I'd be interested to know what is factually incorrect in this thread?
