You can't go wrong with Dundridge College! Can't comment on Rudloe, but the instructors at Dundridge are top notch and I would definitely recommend Dundridge College.

Can't comment on Rudloe, but I definitely recommend Dundridge. Top notch, in every respect, from instructional to support staff.
They pull out all the stops to get you through, some have been known to go way beyond the call of duty!

Scale of 1 to 10? 15.9!

(And Nessy really is nuts - but in a really nice sort of way :D :ok: )

Dundridge gets my vote, great instructors, foxy input staff. and nice selection for lunch. However minus points include: A wonky pool table, and the holiday inn accomodation isnt up to much. Very expensive on the beer front.

Course im biased, never having been to Rudloe

:cool:

CATC, Dundridge or Rudloe.
It would be nice to see what the actual pass rates from these 3 colleges are so that a comparison could be made. If I remember rightly (correct me if I am wrong). Aviation Foundation Training (based in the old bournemouth airport's directors house) had a better pass rate than CATC and Dundridge. I think many of you are judging the book by its colours. Do not forget all these colleges are approved by SRG, and if they were not good enough then they would not be in the business. Unfortunately aviation is a very specialised profession which has been undermined by other professions which means that smaller colleges run on smaller budgets, therefore smaller salaries and cheaper courses. I do not think that the quality of instruction is any different between any college, in fact it is probably better at the smaller ones as they are running a business and have to get people through.
