CPL / ATPL Full Ground School Courses
I think. irrespective of the location of any particular Training establishment, it is the quality of the various Instructors that will be the main & by far the most important factor in making any choice, even if the cost may be higher. Often personal reccomendation is certainly a good start, go & pay a visit to some of the Training Schools & ask to be shown about & talk to members of the Instructing Staff.
I did my ATPL ground course at CSE back in the late 70s, not cheap, but for me anyway worked out well. My main Instructor was a chap called Lawrenceon, absolutely first class in all respects, eventhough he did initially confuse me when talking about `a departure`. As a matter of interest, does anybody at all remember him, `H Squared` Heather Hayes & lovely Tommy Thompson who got me through the initial IRT.
More choice available these days of course folks, but it's all still down to the standard of the chap holding the chalk & standing at the front of the class room.
Best of luck to everybody who is contemplating joining a course.
