London Metropolitan University (late LGU) courses & notes
Several of the points made about LGU courses and notes in some of the mailings in this thread are misleading and several out of date.
1. Based on CAA data our results are at least as good as the national average. Many subjects are better and in some our LOWEST mark is better than the national average.
2. Our course notes are "wordy" because they cover ALL of the learning objectives in enough detail to enable many of our distance learning students to have gained first time passes. The notes are currently undergoing a complete re-vamp and the complete set should be available in glorious colour by February 2003. The "wordy" content still covers the full syllabus but there are many more colour diagrams. Some are available now if any PPruner would like to come and look at them.
3. LGU did take 30 students on our courses in September and November 2001, specifically authorised and approved by the CAA, to help out ex PPSC, SFT and 4 Forces students who had been 'left in the lurch' when those schools closed. Otherwise we have always operated strictly within JAA limits.
4. Like most other FTOs we keep our feedback as up to date as possible and add vetted questions to our web-based student support system, which is open to all full-time and distance learning students.
5. All our instructors have extensive commercial or military aviation backgrounds. Between us we have over 60,000 flying hours.
