Hi Dihedral,
I didn't train there, but I do hire from NFC, and my experience is mixed at best.
Unfortunately as I didn't train there, I can't really comment on their training, other than to say that I've heard both good and bad things.
You might be able to get a more informed response on
Irish Aviation BB
If you want to train at Weston you might also consider Sky-Trace. I did a lot of my training with Fergal (when he was in the old Weston flight school), and couldn't say enough of good things about him!
Hope this helps!
