ILS27R,
With advice like that, I'd get youself enrolled with BGS.
I did mine full time with PPSC and I found them really good, but having seen how Alex has behaved throught all the PPSC drama and with replies to you and others, there can be only one place to do the ground school in my books.
I'd seriously consider phoning the man up and change to BGS. Just imagine the help you'll be in for when enrolled with them.
Good luck
