I attended the CPP programme at NAC in 2008-09. I have no complaints at all about them, in fact they pulled all the stops out to get my training completed before Xmas so I could go home. So much so they allowed me and 2 fellow students to use their aircraft after the school closed for Xmas so we could finish our EASA CPL check ride 2 days before Xmas. And we all passed and got home for Xmas.
As previously mentioned, if you put your head down and dedicate yourself to hard work, and believe me....it is hard work....you will have no problems. When in the ATPL ground school, all of the ground school instructors cared for their students and the previous and current CGI particularly very helpful. They wanted you to succeed just as much as we did. . no school is perfect, we live in a imperfect world.
I now fly as a commercial pilot and have many fond memories of my time at NAC.
