ATPL groundschool in UK...

Which one should I choose? I am taking the APP and was wondering which groundschool I should go with before beginning at EFT since they need to know....

EFT recommended Bristol... Is that one any good? Any other suggestions?

I went to London Met which was OK. I'm not really the studying type but managed to get them all done in the time I was there. I live in London and so was used to the place it but it is quite an expensive city to live for 6-8 months. If you're distance learning, Bristol seem to have a good reputation.

Why do EFT need to know where you are going to do your Ground School?? Nothing to do with them I would have thought.

A representative called me and said that they'd need to know where I was going since the APP cost includes a part of the groundschool training of the distance learning. other than that, I have no idea why they'd ask for where I was going before I got enrolled.... I mean they prompted me this question before I even sent in my application forms. So I don't know...

Now I\'m wondering if the APP cost includes my accomodation during my stay in UK...

Firstly, they ask where you want to go before you start so that they know that you have decided where you will be going when it's time to do the groundschool. It's so that there are no gaps in your training and that you and EFT know what your plans are.
As for accomodation, the APP course is included ONLY for the time that you are in the USA ie. the first 3-4 months and then the final 3-4 months. Accomodation whilst you do the groundschool is up to you.
