In the case of this particular school, unfortunatley, the students claims are largely correct. I know of a few students there who turn up day in day out and are not allocated any lessons. One student has just achieved a GFPT after two years on a full time course! I believe the official booking process is 2 ab-initio lessons per week for each full time Intl student...
I think most people here know the going ons at that place, but its a shame that is our image as a country for international training that suffers.
