I am considering starting an integrated ATPL. Most of the schools in Europe have negative reviews and red flags. Is it just me or are there no reliable and trustworthy schools with good reputation?
What do you recommend?

I would recommend having a good hard think about your choice to go integrated

Stapleford Flight Centre offer a fairly reasonably priced integrated pathway, I believe.

Come on, you have not been researching enough if that's what you think. There are multiple good integrated flight training schools in both the UK and EASA-Europe. No school is ever perfect but for example FTE in Jerez has a well earned good reputation. Would be best if you could be sponsored as they are not cheap. There are certainly more. Stapleford already mentioned up-thread, they do both modular but reportedly now also integrated. As you ask for integrated just mentioning those, and speaking only from first-hand experience.

But do your own research, search the forum, read through reams of text and you will get a feeling for what's plausible or not so.

Visit schools on your short list, speak also to students, away from ears and eyes of school management and recruiters.

I have heard great things about OSM in Sweden/Norway. I would at least make sure to stay clear of PFA in Norway..
