Glad you enjoyed it An...as for the PPL study, speaking for myself (and my school), the studying was done in my own time and at my own pace, again using Thom and the confuser (do get the confuser, well worth it). The school ran evening sessions but generally I think it is mainly left to your own devices and obviously you can ask questions whenever you get stuck (maybe the nav it could be worth attending a tutorial session to get the hang of the whizz wheel) but that is all I used the evening session for.
Enjoy it all anyhow.
