Intensive PPL ground school - Yes or No?
Hi All!
I am in the very early stages of starting my PPL, with the dream of eventually making it to the commercial airlines.
After having 5-6 lessons so far my progress has been halted by countless cancelled lessons due to bad weather, issues with the aircraft and /or a lack of available lesson slots. I was hoping to use the time gained from not having lessons to knock some of the ground school exams out of the way, but having a pretty hectic work life I am struggling to find the time to get my head down for more than an hour or two at once.
It would be far easier for me to complete an intensive 1-2 week PPL ground school course and get all the exams completed in one go without distractions. My main concern is that some of the courses only take 5 days, which begs me to question wether I would simply be learning how to pass the exams rather than learning the subject thoroughly. Secondly I am also concerned at how a perspective employer might look at this situation, possibly they may think the same thing?
Can anyone shed any light on the intensive courses, If so it would be great to hear which ones you think are best. The only one I've researched so far is the PPL cruiser 5 day ground school, before I spent any more time researching I thought it may be a good idea to do some background research first.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
