I am a student at Bartolini Air and enjoyed my PPL course but I had a sort of headstart because I was a sort of aviation geek before my training and had no problems through my training. It was different for someone else in the course.
So yes, I would suggest you do your PPL training at your local flying club and go to Bartolini for the CPL and ME-IR.
ATPL with Bristol or Orbit Ground School in the Netherlands.
