The questions I would ask is why their course costs £2k more than the average?
Does the course nomally run on schedule, or does the FIC instructor keep rushing off to do other things?
Does it include the 120 hours ground school or do they just tell you to go and read a book?
Will they give you a job at the end of the course?
What aircraft do you train in? I'd rather be in a PA28 than a C152.
Are you paired with another student?
Can you do the night rating as well in the same time period?
hope this helps
cheers
