Farfromoz,
These blokes are leading you up the garden path. I know of 2 guys that finishes their
commercial licence in 5 months. Unless the candidate was retarded I can't for the life of me imagine how it could take 4 months for a PPL. 6 weeks fulltime is a realistic expectation, and that includes all your Nav training. What will screw it up is if you are unlucky enough to enlist the services of a flying school that will persist in stuffing you around and hence rip you off. Make a lot of enquiries before you decide on a school and you shouldn't have any problems. Make sure that they have plenty of aircraft available, a number of instructors. And ultimately don't pay a red cent up front. At the end of each day pay your bill. That way it's in their best interests to keep your training going forward. I can't emphasise this enough. You pay the money up front and I'll guarantee they'll screw you around like you got no idea. I did my full PPL in 6 weeks, exams included. Be smart about it mate. It's a ton of fun. But don't let the b@stards rip you off. Only you can make sure that that doesn't happen.
Good luck and enjoy
Onya
