Romeo Kilo, when "Integrated" courses were created the whole idea was to integrate the groundschool subjects with the flight training so that something taught in the classroom could be demonstrated in the air soon afterwards.

Gradually over time the Integrated providers began to move away from this style as is was more efficient (hence cheaper) to separate out groundschool from flight training (particulary if your groundschool is in Oxford and your flight training is in Arizona!).

FTE are the only UK FTO that still do some form of the original Integrated idea.
