I'm a past student of PTC..... they are a joke. flight safety was amazing great planes, instructors etc and then you get back to waterford, the sunny south east... took way too long to get the last part done (CPL IR) with weather/ lack of planes, lack of instructors, lack of organisation.
the instructors are the only thing ptc has going for them and most of them are leaving. I'm amazed the planes are still in the air, and the office staff are just crazy! problems with money ie. they wanted more. and more. and more. ended up finishing the course on bad terms over money, and i'm not the only one. Have secured a job on my own terms with no help from ptc. actually since I finished the only contact I've had is an angry email and letter for money. money i don't owe them!!
Don't buy the act. go to florida, do it yourself and come back and do a conversion. (anyone doing a conversion got preference over the rest of us! god knows why since we all paid the same money)
From someone who has done it.....DONT DO IT.
