FABBE,, ur only 16, i spent god knows how many years researching schools and schemes, in the mean time i went to uni and completed my ppl. (and i still yet havent found a FREE CPL thats for sure anywhere) I did the Flybe sponsorship tests, they werent to bad, but after 4 times of trying I finally succeeded, so dont just give up after the first round but if you do, then you didnt really want it in the first place.
NOW ENDthis whole debate, and do some researching fabbe of your own, it will benefit you more, and go to a school thats suits you, not the schools with fancy booklets with nice looking picture in them just cause you like them.
RJIII - I reckon you can have a medical within two weeks of enquiring at the moment. Dont do a class two if you have the intention of gaining a class 1 soon, (waste on money) expect around £300 or so for it.
