RED WINGS
EPTA whilst wholly owned by CABAIR are managed by the same dynamic team that failed SFT. My understanding (and I have to admit that this is old news) is that the test flights ie GFT and IRT are conducted at CABAIR's college up in Cranfield. I have done a lot of research into all the organisations at EGHH and am currently doing the paperwork but have elected to fly with PAT.
BFC have an excellent new groundschool set up with very experienced people running it ( as far as i know the only approved groundschool at EGHH). From talking to people, EPTA are undercutting everyone in price. but at the end of the day you get what you pay for, or maybe not as some of SFT's students will testify !!!!
