Why do it if it's not fun?

Hypothetical situation:

Take an imaginary course, which requires a minimum of, ooh, say 30 hours. (I can't think of a course with this particular minimum, so it really is all hypothetical.)

School A gets 95% of its students into the skills test with 32 hours or less. 70% of its students pass first time. All students leave knowing very little above what the syllabus requires them to know.

School B gets 95% of its students into the skills test with 40 hours or less. 90% of its students pass first time, and all if its students have a thorough understanding of the subject.

School C gets 95% of its students into the skills test with 50 hours or less, and none with less than 45 hours. 99% of its students pass first time, a figure which they publish in all their sales media, but interestingly they don't publish the number of hours their students take.

Which would you rather train with?
