There are loads of them.

I know of 4 in Scotland alone.

And there are a couple in wales as well.

And I am sure there are more than a few in England as well.

The biggest killer in the UK for some schools is the wx. But several areas get the benefit of micro climates like Prestwick, Inverness, Welshpool etc.

And due to advertising rules on pprune I can't post the links but after 10 seconds I found a school doing 3 week ppl for 8250 euros landing fees included apart from landaways.

If you look at the eastern block EASA schools its even less.

Absolutely no point what's so ever going to the states.

In my day there was because we could get a plane for 35$ dry or 55$ wet. 25$/hour instruction. With an exchange rate of 1.8-1.9 to the pound. These days even the mom and pop brigade are charging over 100$ an hour with 65-75$ an hour for instruction on a C150 with ground instruction at the same rate with an exchange rate of 1.67.

The economics don't work any more either. The pain in the backside immigration stuff just adds insult to injury.
