A few thoughts:
- 10 weeks, in my experience, is quite a short time to get a PPL. You will need to really work hard - flying daily, hitting the text books, etc.
- Given your short time frame, you do not want to be held up by inclement weather. Depending on what time of year you have off for this, you may wish to consider where you go. For instance, Sydney for the past few weeks has been decidedly poor for ab initio training, and this is likely to be the case until September or October, and even then there is a fair chance of having significant periods of time washed or blown out. You may want to enquire about weather patterns as part of your looking around.
- Also given the short time frame, you may come across operators who ask you to pay for the full cost of your training up front (or you may be tempted to do so yourself). You should be VERY weary of doing this. In aviation, it is not usually a wise idea to part with all your money up front...
Good luck with the training - make sure you take enough time to take it all in!
