Agree 100% with P.L,
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER pay a Flying School up front for flight training.
There have been far too many cases of schools going t*ts up and leaving students high and dry and out of pocket to the tune of many thousands of Dollars, Pounds or Euros.
Just look at the disgraceful, if not criminal (allegedly), actions of Cabair last year as well as the closure of Bristol Aviation for "financial reasons" (nothing to do with needing the building for the Airbus contract) and the collapse of PTC in Ireland. All of these cost many individuals many thousands of pounds, in some cases tens of thousands.
Similar cases have occurred on the west side of the pond - listen to those who have had their fingers burned and, did I mention, NEVER pay large sums up front, however good 'the deal'.
