If you're already nearby then you've got nothing to lose by popping down there and having a look around. Whilst there have a good chat with the students and instructors. No doubt you'll get a guided tour of the facilities and its worth asking about backseating a flight/simulator lesson or sitting in on a ground school lesson if you have time to do so. CK is right though, you need to go there, or to any FTO, with a set of questions which will help you make you're choice. Yes they are all there to make money, and lots of it. You will be presented with those glossy brochures and they'll try to reassure you that now is the time to train. But it is you're responsibilty to gather all the information you need in order to make a sensible informed decision. Visit the FTO's, list the pros and cons, create you're contingency plans and assess your level of commitment and passion.
