ATPLstylee
I have just had a long chat with Mr Laurie Benn, Head of the Civil Aviation Department of the London Guildhall University.
When I suggested to him that they were playing for time to get more students, he ardently denied it, telling me that they have 18 students ready to start the course. It sounds like they have had a bit of bad luck with the Campaign Against Aviation, who are being majorly pedantic, and kicked up a fuss, because the LGU only quoted their sources as opposed to included all detail to them. I'm sticking with LGU, because I want to stay in London for that bit longer, and because its CHEAP!!! Also, I found out that my second choice place, Coventry is not starting a JAR ground school course till late March - and they haven't even given any specific dates. Plus all the other places are heinously expensive, and Guildhall still accepts NVQ (what is Oxford's problem?)
Speak to Mr Benn yourself and see what he has to say - he is a friendly and extremely helpful man. I have been waiting to start since September, and it's getting seriously frustrating, but I'd rather be trained at my place of choice than somewhere else, just because I'm fed up.
Hope to see you there on Valentines Day!!
