Training- Full time v part time

Hi all.

I attained my GFPT close to a year ago now after training on a part time basis flying once or twice a week to achieve this. In my case I was (and still am) working full time by night and flying/studying by day. Obviously flying a plane after working an 8 hr shift is not ideal (I am still not sure how I came this far??).
Anyways, having spent the last 12 months flying family and friends around the training area the time has come for this little bird to expand his wings. My financial situation may be changing where I may not have to work in the immediate future, and so will be able to concentrate my energies on flying and study.
So I ask, do I continue on a part time basis at a smaller school where I get one on one treatment or do I move to a larger so called "sausage factory" full time to CPL level and beyond? Any imput on this would be appreciated.

Kind regards, MAC
