Starting up my PPL

Hey guys,

Looking to start up PPL training and have got a few questions. I have been looking at flight schools in Florida (frowned upon here I know) because of the costs of the course.

I've seen many offer ~21 day packages for approx $6,500. This is where you complete all training to do with PPL (exams, flying, etc).

I think 21-days would be a little rushed to fully experience the practical side of flying to its fullest, therefore I would like to do the exams here in the UK instead, and then head to Florida for just the flying aspect.

I've been trying to look for places where I can do the 7 exams and was wondering when passed how long they are valid for? Also one flight training website in Florida stated you have "three attemps at each test" with a required pass rate of 75%+ - is this true for all PPL exams or the way they have 'structured' their course?


Thanks for reading, I await your replies .

Regards
