Bristol GRound School

[High Wing Drifter]

I have read and contributed to it in an entirely dispassionate manner.

It really isn't comming across like that.

Some have even come to realise that this is at least to some extent due to:
a. BGS encouraging students to make such posts.BGS encouraging students to make such posts.

Nay! Nay! And thrice nay! That is not what was said by me ot anybody else. Absolutely nobody at BGS has, to my knowledge, ever asked this of anybody.

I have no idea what BGS pass rates are, so I will not comment upon them. All I am saying is that readers must be very careful in interpreting statistics and pprune posts announcing exam successes.

As is the case with all schools, including Keith's, no matter how the information is sourced.

Why Keith and Alex need to argue with each other all the time is beyond me.

Well said. Trouble is that now this thread seems to have a momentum all of his own now.

I vote it is best to draw a line underneath this thread and let Keith and Alex answer peoples ATPL queries without getting into a ruck.

He likes GTS, so fine tell us about GTS, show us some students who got good results (preferably not more first time posting pseudonyms) and maybe people will consider them over Bristol.

Did somebody call?

Keith,

As a dispassionate observer with no connection to any groundschool provider in any capacity, I have to say that your credibility is weakening with each post you make. I am reminded of a sage piece of advice given to me many years ago -

When you find yourself in a hole - Stop Digging!!

[BitMoreRightRudder]

I would like to re-iterate what others have said regarding Keith's suggestion that Bristol ask students to post here extolling the school's greatness. BGS at no point during my visit requested any such thing, indeed pprune was mentioned once by Alex in relation to the tech forum on exactly the same point as was mentioned by Gin Slinger. That was it.

At the risk of repeating myself (yet again) Bristol are good enough at what they do to warrant praise without the need to employ underhand tactics. This thread is an evergrowing testament to that fact.

i have ben through the hoops in terms of education, a first from a top university in the uk and a commendation in post graduate studies so i would like to think that i know a thing or two about being taught - bristol have it sorted, no-one has asked me to post this and yes i even had to re-sit gen nav & met, but that was my fault not bristol's. Bristol's pass rates are higher than the national average and hanging out at cheddar after a hard weeks study is all good. Praise given where praise is due...piss of piss

aptl ground studies (blasts from the pasts)

Chroist talk about an understatement. Oi have a mental picture of Keith sat belting away at his computer with one hand while throwing darts at a BGS poster with the other or vice versa.

Oh and Keith, tanks for warning me off Peggy, I was just about to start a great lesbian affair with her, and now it turns out she/he just wants to get in me drawers, and rifle me assets (pardon the pun)

Anyway, must go and post another Dick Whittingham post slagging off Keith, oh sh te Oive given the game away

You lot need to calm down just have a noice cup of tea, ah go on!!
