CTC takeoff or Oxford Waypoint

hello all!

I am currently in a dilemma. I have completed my ATPL's at Oxford aviation, achieved first time passes in all subjects with a high 90's average.

I am now currently looking at where to train next. The 2 schools I have narrowed it down to are CTC's new takeoff modular scheme and Oxford's way-point course.

Ive visited both schools and both are very impressive.

The 2 big factors that are making it hard for me to decide are as follows.

If I finish my training with oxford I will have a consistent training record under one provider which ive heard looks good on the CV.

CTC are getting amazing first time pass rates with their new takeoff scheme and are using the DA-42 g1000 glass cockpit. Their pass rates are higher than oxfords...

A first time pass rate is very important to me, it seems obvious moving to CTC will increase my chances of a first time pass.

I had a go in their DA42 sim and wow... its a great piece of kit. I can really see why people are getting good results with that aeroplane.

Im really finding it hard to make my choice...

the 2 schools are virtually identical in cost.

any advice?

stick with Oxford and have a consistent training record?

move to CTC and their modern equipped aircraft?

thank you very much for reading.
