Don't write off the little school in Shoreham. Although they have just been granted integrated status, they have been running structured modular courses for many years now. They have an excellent pass rate and the aircraft are well maintained and extremely up to date.
It's a well run little outfit and definitely worthy of consideration. You'd be surprised how many of the airlines know of it's existence and better to be a part of a small team than an insignificant cog of a major player.
Visit it and see for yourself.
