I'm thinking about doing my PPL in SA. In PE there is also Progress Flight Academy. Which one would You prefer? PFA or Algoa? Why?

Of course you can comment about the other two - maybe you should have mentioned that you instruct at Aptrac to put it in persepctive.

OK

So hence no commment on the other two????????
Yes i instruct at APTRAC, so if you need any info then please feel free to ask, and seeing we are in the area it doesnt hurt to let people know.

As with all my posts i said people must come decide for themselves, no pressure or baised opionions....

Found that out the hard way, if you really want to know, through my own experiences.

Absolutely - when I get asked what school to go to my standard reply is:

1) The schools you mentioned all give good training but the environment needs to suit your personality and needs
2) Do not pay the full course up front - pay only a small deposit to secure your slot - there are far too many stories of people battling to get refunds and a school that is so busy that they have to have a huge amount to secure your slot - are probably too busy to give you personal attention
3) Visit the schools and have a chat with the admin people, instructors and other students to get a feel for the atmosphere. If you can't correspond with them and ask as many questions as you can. Just reading the responses can give you a feel
4) If you sign up at a school and after the first few lessons do not feel at home - do not be scared to move - it will not count against you
5) Remember you are the customer - if you are not treated like one - move on
