I started my training in 2001 with a large well-established school in Bournemouth. B***ards went bankrupt a month or 2 later takin my hard-earned cash with them!!
Take it from me..i have instructed in 3 different schools in my career (2 of which no longer exist...and the 3rd is floundering!!)
DO NOT SPEND ANY MORE MONEY UPFRONT THAN WHICH YOU CAN COMFORTABLY AFFORD TO LOSE.......
Ignore the above advice at your peril guys
