First of all, I'm pleased to say that I've passed all of my Module 2 exams. Happy doesn't even come close to describing how I feel about that! From the other threads that are running, and e-mails from other people who were at Bristol with me, it seems that a huge number of people were successful this month - so congratulations to everyone!
Fantastic! But, onto the next bit. It's time to start researching schools where I can do the CPL. So I downloaded the
list off the CAA's website, and I was quite surprised by what I saw. Flight Training College of Africa are listed as providing JAR FCL 1 CPL(A) Module Flying training!
Now, I know that FTC have a mixed reputation. If you're a current or ex-student, then I might be interested to hear from you privately if you've got advice for me. But can we keep this thread for
facts only please. What's the score here? Last August, FTC
stopped offering the CPL course. Their name was removed from the CAA's list. But the list I have is up to date - version 30, dated 3 Feb 2003. So are FTC offering the CPL again? When did they re-start? Have they had many (any) students through since they re-started? Are they using the same instructors they used before they stopped? And (I know I asked for facts, but I'll make an exception for this question) are they still likely to be offering the course in September/October, which is when I'll most likely be able to get time off work to do it? You get the idea.
I am about to e-mail FTC (along with all the other schools I've short-listed) and I shall report back when I get a reply from them. But input from PPRuNe is always valuable!
