I too trained at Algoa, which is right next to Aptrac at Port Elizabeth International Airport.
While I was training I met up with one other student who was doing the PPL at Aptrac and we swapped stories. I left feeling relieved I was with Algoa. The two outfits are worlds apart - in terms of organisation and friendliness. I also heard stories about their aircraft... Traumahawks.
If you're after a cadet style education then its probably fine. But then go for Progress or 43 in Port Alfred.
Algoa offer a club atmosphere with all the social benefits as well as a training base with friendly instructors, PPL through to the full ATPL. They also host most of the written exams and Radio lectures so you'll end up going there if you go through the other locals.
