Can't say I can actually recommend any organisation emphatically for flying training - I have not been directly involved in the flying school scene for quite a while but have managed the training of a few young pilots and have seen the products of many training schools when I conduct renewals / proficiency checks.
Sad state of affairs for the domestic flying training industry, I reckon.
I can say, though:
Stay away from National Aerospace Training, DirectAir or any iteration of that organisation. All the above comments I have observed to be true, and more...
Same goes for Flight Training Australia / AV8 or whatever they call themselves these days at Archerfield Airport - used to have a great reputation and be a good school, but absolutely not the same beast since Humphrey passed away.
Both are the epitome of a flying school that will take your money fast, but give you nothing of value.
I suggest that you take a trip, visit several organisations, do a comparison in your head and go with the one that appears most genuine, with tidy aircraft and staff who will actually spend some time with you explaining their "wares" and most of all - makes you feel comfortable.
Be wary of the school that offers promises of jobs / ICUS, etc as a selling point for their course. Usually this is B/S.
Suggestions of places to look at:
Royal QLD Aero Club, Redcliffe Aero Club, Johnston Aviation, Ad Astral, Barrier Aviation, Bob Harris in Innisfail.
Happy hunting.
