I believe the correct title of their course is "Full-time assisted learning ATPL ground schoolcourse"
Tom (ex RAF rotary and fixed wing) is there 5 days a week and lectures and supervises the study program. The studes have access to the classroom 7 days a week and study together when not being lectured. They do it on a full time basis so you would cetainly have the banter et al that you miss when distance learning.
It seems to work well for the lads..
