Ground School In Cambridgeshire?
So I'm about 27 hours in to my PPL now and making good progress. I've completed all the excercises and solo circuit time and am about to move on to nav. I've passed my air law exam (had to before going solo), but that's the only one so far.
I've been intending just to study for the remaining exams myself, but I have a fairly high pressure job and work long hours so it's just not happening. I really need to get them done now so I think ground school is the way to go. I won't be able to do a whole week, but evenings / weekends and the odd day off during the week are all possible.
Can anyone therefore recommend a decent ground school based within sensible travelling distance of Cambridge that will be able to get me through my exams at a sensible costs, fitting in with my availability? Many thanks.

Depending on your schedule matching mine I could help. I can also issue the exams. I am about 40 mins from Cambridge.
However your first call should be to get a PPL confuser.

Thanks bose-x. Assuming you're in Northants you won't be too far away, I'm actually about 8 miles west of Cambridge so a bit closer.
Would you be so kind as to drop me a PM with some further details, i.e. location, schedule etc and a bit of background detail?
I don't have a confuser yet so will put that on the shopping list straight away!

Thanks I had seen the Steve Wilkes website - his location is a little far, prob over an hour each way, so I'd prefer something a little closer if possible.
That said, I have already dropped them an email as it does mention they sometimes hold courses at the IWM Duxford which would be very convenient if they have any scheduled.

Thanks all for the replies. Steve Wilkes kindly contacted me today but does not have any courses scheduled in Duxford and is a little far away otherwise.
pboyall - thanks for sending over the details, Stamford is a little far maybe and his ground school prices aren't the cheapest, but I'll keep him in mind and compare the pro / cons to other options.
Chasd, likewise thanks for the contact and I will give you call tomorrow if that's ok
