"Quite why anyone would pay £999 for an intensive 5 day course to take their PPL exams, when they could take them at their leisure during structured PPL training, with a far better understanding of the content, is a bit of a mystery to me."
My answer is that I am lucky enough to have a 10 month old daughter, a challenging job and horses. These three all compete for my attention every day, and leave me with little spare energy or brain capacity to plough through the books (especially dry subjects like Air Law).
Having the option to take a week out from 'normal' life and study the information / blitz the exams is useful. Had I been able to secure time away from work I would have taken that option a couple of months ago.
I hope this helps unravel the mystery for you...?
