Unhappy Urgent help needed for PPL skill test

Hello everyone,

I have an awkward situation in Italy. Here is the facts:
  • I'm a Turkish citizen, working in Italy
  • I've started my PPL training in a local club, but club bankrupted after 8 hours of flying,
  • I moved my training records to an another ATO, but they couldn't provide me ground school in English,
  • Even I would study myself, nobody was sure if anybody took an English PPL test in Italy before, so nobody was sure about the scope of the questions,
  • So I went to UK for a ground school in November 15, came back with my results,
  • After completion 45 hours of flying, I've applied for skill test,
  • Italian CAA doesn't and won't accept my application,
  • I gave up with my UK results and decided to take Italian exams,
  • But it also not possible because they don't want to prepare English PPL exams just because they can,
  • This is a conclusion of two months of e-mails and phone conversations.

So, after this point I give up and won't take any step in Italian soils. Things are getting weird and I become suspicious about all this related to racism.

I put all UK CAA and EU Regulations according to acceptance of my UK exam results but they keep going on insisting on their claims.

Any help appreciated if anybody knows a way that I can apply to Skill Test with my logbook and UK exam results in somewhere else?

What's the cost of time and money?

Any school around EU that can help?
