Evil Jethro,
what bad things have you heard about 4Forces? I would be interested to know as I am poised to enrol on one of their courses.
I went to London to visit their facilities, meet the staff and asked every question I could think to throw at them, and the place seemed OK to me.
Incidentally, I am going to do the full-time residential course rather than distance learning which they have priced at £2995.
This is cheaper than the other majors and the course is slightly shorter at 5-6 months depending on student progress. There may be some differences between this course and distance learning that make other schools a better option for correspondence than 4Forces, I accept that. If you have heard any horror stories I would like to hear them to save me making the same mistakes as others.
Grypen, if your ATPL 'thaws' before you start the conversion, you still have the exams to contend with but think you get a major break on the practical skill tests. I'm pretty sure that Aussie is ICAO as I know NZ is, so Oz would have to be! Check with CASA on

Bristol Groundschool's email address is
[email protected] but they don't have their own website. Their flight training is affiliated through the Bristol Flight Centre at
www.b-f-c.co.uk and there are contact details for the groundschool there too.
Cheers, H&H
