Just been looking at the BCFT brouchure. I don't think anywhere does it state that the courses operated are 'Integrated'.
The only Uk schools that run 'Integrated' courses are CTC, Cabair(Cranield) and OTT.
Everyone else,(including PAT) run modular programmes. Some do all the modules, some just a few.
BCFT run all the modules. There 'Jetline' programme is what I call 'Sequential Modular', my words not theres
In general most people consider it a good idea to do the CPL/ME/IR at one school. The PPL and ATPL theory can be done elsewhere.
You should be aware that, to the best of my knowledge, PAT does not run an ATPL ground school. I believe it is distance learning. This may or maynot suit you.
If you plan to do distance learning, you should also consider Bristol as they are highly regarded and many people use there question bank.

Finally I think you are being a little harse / judgemental on the state of the BCFT aircraft. Whilst I am not very experienced, I have flown a few aircraft and think that the aircraft at BCFT are OK and certainly fit for purpose. Most FTO aircraft have a pretty hard life and can look more tired than they actually are.
