Hey, the groundschools do seem to be gunning for each other at the moment.

Oxford claim x% groundschool pass rates

Pilot Assist College claim to be leading in 1st time ATPL pass rates

Bristol Groundschool question Oxford's statistics

Oxford's banner quotes a jealous competitor

Go on Send Clowns, get stuck in...

this is a great spectator sport

Hey, I never said anything against Oxford's groundschooling, very good by all accounts, as is Alex's up in Bristol. Obviously not as good as ours, :D but there is always time to learn.

Nothing to add to the exam results debate - experience from SFT suggests that some of the (modular) students just never get back in touch - we suspect most have passed as SFT always gave a lot of support to those having to resit, but who can say. Maybe some gave up. No primarily modular school can give anything approaching accurate statistics, so why bother? We kept what records we needed to for the CAA, they were sufficiently impressed not to even require to debrief us at the last check, we carried on in our quiet way!

Reds, great to here your sex life is getting back on track ;)
