Hi Mate
I'm currently signed up with pilot assist. First of all as with all organisations do YOUR OWN research first. I saw their ad in Pilot Magazine, called them up and had a good chat with them. After much research about flight training I took their advice and done the GAPAN tests, I done well and then I done my Class 1 Medical, which I passed. I also went down to thier offices to meet them and talk more in depth about my flight training schedule.
The directors are an extremely nice bunch, although thay are not yet a particularly big school they do have plans in the pipeline, and a groundschool is on the cards, of which I will be enrolling. I have decided to do my training with them, all of which will be done at Pan AM, I personally believe that this school offers the best training for the self sponsored student.
Pilot Assist only take onthe students they think will do well in Flight training, they assess this by the result you get at the GAPAN aptitude test sessions at RAF Cranwell, this can be nerve racking but is useful as it provides an insight/indication of how you will fair during training.
If you need any more info let me know, email me or put up a posting. All the best
