I know this subject has been done to death, but seeing as we are on the subject of distance learning and rather than starting a new thread....
I wonder, when cost is considered (BGS is somewhere around the £1900 mark I believe?) is it fair to say that if one has the time, there is no replacement for full-time groundschool?
I'm mainly concerned with the materials. BGS and other such high ranking DL schools tend to have fantastic notes but obviously not the tutors (until the brush-up anyway). From scanning the forums, full-time groundschools that cost roughly the same as a DL course, have average notes and tutors. Any thoughts?
