Baldie man i took my business elswhere from a well formatted school on this site from the US and got a load of verbal abuse on e mail from him and have it to prove it
When i did take my business to a reputable establishment the difference was amazing, progreess checks with another instructor (CFI) at regulated intervals for my CPL so i always looked after that at schools and spoke to a few people first.
So choose carefully and progress checks are good, for the instructors and the students too
