I am also considering MF and LFS but not deciding for a while yet.
MF literature and website both look very professional but my first call got me through to one of the instructors. I enquired about doing some of the training at weekends as I work full time but intend to go part time during training. The initial comment I got was that I wouldn't be able to do it if I was working even though I suggested I could do maybe wed - thu - fri - sat and possibly sun. This was a bit disheartening as for a while I believed I couldn't do it without resigning from my job
LFS were more helpful and said I could still do it the way I proposed. I contacted MF again and spoke to a different person who then said it shouldn't be a problem if they had an instructor willing to do weekends (as they have at the moment)
A bit concerning when different people give different answers. I base my choice on quality of service, not just price, and conflicting views by 2 people at the same place doesn't encourage me to choose them.
Am still confused and still undecided
A visit is definitely on the cards some time in the future.
Have also looked at Triple A but don't have much info on them yet although the bit I have had is positive.
