thanks for the prompt reply, i have in fact chosen the two flight schools as i have a house in Bristol and also know of it to be an excellent ground school having read many of the good comments on pprune. My parents live in bournemouth therefore seeing as i would like to try to save some money on renting a place or doing a residential course i would prefer to stay in one of these places. I seem to get the idea that a distance learning course is harder and takes longer to complete whereas the residential courses must offer support and lectures during the day.
did you find the distance learning particularly tough or was it alright?
If i decided to do a residential course in bournemouth do you know if they would let me live at home and commute the ten minutes into the school each day or is it obligatory to stay on campus?
much appreciated for anyadvice!
