Bournemouth Commercial Flight Training (BCFT)

Hi,

are there any folks on here who can comment on the above mentioned flight school, especially the ATP ground school (full time residential)? Perhaps any former students, that'd be great.

Currently I'm already enrolled in a distance leaning course but I'm unhappy with the entire situation and considering switching to full time.

On the BCFT website it says that the entire course, including taking all 14 exams can be done in as little time 7 month? Which I have to admit kinda stunned me! Perhaps there are folks around here who can either confirm or deny this.

The website says that the full time course costs around 4k, including all the study material (books, CRT5, CBT etc.) are there any additional costs which one must consider, except the CAA exam fees, of course - and how much would that be?

I'd also need accommodation, it says that BCFT provides non-locals a room in nearby Hotel, which is owned by BCFT. How is that and how much does it cost, since I bevel it's certainly not included in the course fee.

Is it possible to get around without having a car, regarding grocery shopping, doing the laundry etc.?

Thanks for reading and would be great to, perhaps, get any firsthand accounts from former or even present students.
