Vaga ETA is far from new, it's been going since well before I was in EGHH. Yes they are an extremely professional organisation, who specialize in flight instructor training. I know two of their pilots, one very well (he is an old family friend who even attended my passing-out ball at Dartmouth) and their owner is an old friend of those of us who were in SFT, so popped over recently to say hi. Alternatively BCFT can offer training in all levels of flight instuctor ratings.
The rivalry between us is very amicable, and genuinely so, partly because we really specialise in different areas. If you want to train in Bournemouth (we have a well-equipped international airport with real 747s
and great weather), come down and visit both, and Professional while you're here, even CG/Cabair's operation if you like (can point you at the hangar, though I can't remember the company name written on it). You will find your own preference, and this is best when you make this considerable investment.
Libelous allegations aside (if you knew about the FTOs in Bournemouth I might suggest you worked for ETA, Vaga
!), the instructors at BFC have achieved excellent pass rates with non-sponsored students. That is one major factor in choosing a school, as first-time pass in IR can be very important in finding a job. We have several instructors, of varying character, two of whom helped to train me for my CPL and are excellent, very professional and very easy to like and get on with in the air. One of these used to train military pilots, so cannot be slack.
