Classroom or distance learning?

[FToast]

Hi,

Please answer according to your personal opinion and/or past experience. The most answers giving me the best idea!
I am planning on converting my FAA ATP to a JAA ATP. for the 14 exams required, would you use:
- Distance learning (Bristol),
or:
- Classroom type groundschool (any other school)?

Once again even the simplest answer will give me an indication, the more of them the better, your PERSONAL opinion please!

Thanks in advance!
