My advice is to steer clear of them & trust your gut instinct.
My experience was not too good (groundschool mainly).
You may get a few more replies to this question.
Do a search with the PPRUNE search engine & after reading pros & cons, make up your own mind.
If you decide to go, don't pay anything up front & carry a flexible return ticket with you.
The school changed management around June/July of 2001, to help you with your search.
Good luck with your training.
