I'm starting my PPL with CTFTC in february. During my visits to the school I found the staff to be friendly and very knowledgeable. It's very small and the aerodrome they opperate out of is old and a little neglected. taking into consideration they are not the only establishment at fisantekral. They also have a nice selection of aircraft including a yak 52 and its only a stone throw away from cape town international, paarl durbanville and stellenbosch.
Progress and 43 do sound great but i live and work in the area so thats my reason for selecting them.
I'll gladly email you a couple of pictures that I've taken if you like.
peace
