Yes they are a Uk FTO.

My main point of concern having talked to them and looked into their affairs.

Was the general 'pie in the sky dreams' they were trying to lay on me. Will their mystery backers, high hopes for expansion and general line aimed at wet behind the ear virgins of' we are only in this to help you, not make a huge profit..'
Mainly because these little people get hooked with the sales pitch and are shown how easy it is to get a job and borrow the funds to do it.
Of course these borrowed funds. In the form of career developments loans of full blown bank loans are paid directly to the FTO in a lump sum.
Great if you need the cash flow to prop things up while you gather new students.
If the numbers work out it could work. If you don't get enough saps through the door you walk away from your Limited company liability and leave little boys and girls in tears.....

But don't let all these happenings scare you all off folks. Follow your dreams.
I am giving up a £ 30k + a year salary to train for a year without pay in the hope of getting that first job on £ 15-20k PA. We all know why. Our destiny is at FL350
