Egnatia - find out the facts!
A friend of mine instructs there and she couldn't do more for the students! They have more a/c than instructors so can cope with one going tech.
Don't believe all this bulls**t about CPL in a week. I did mine on a complex single - 15 hours and it took 4 weeks with Cabair, one of the leading UK schools. It was a flight every other day but there is a lot of ground study required for both the CPL and IR and most people don't realise this, so study when not flying. Once you start the IR you will be glad of a days breather - it's demanding!
Go speak to people for yourself and see what it is really like!
Everyone slags OFT on this forum also but I did most of my initial training with them and the instructors are very knowledgable and happy to help. You will get messed around a little by most flight schools including Uk ones!
Best of luck with your studies.

Easy to have more aircraft than instructors when only 1 instructor that can fly the planes! i had to share my cfi with two other students and only got to fly 2 or 3 days a week due to that!
i expect cpl to take longer in uk due weather, but it was 90deg and cavok every day in greece,,,, and only 1 twin, that went tech for 2days. thats fine in the uk when you can go home and do other things, but when your in greece paying for accomidation and food away from home and got nothing to do but sit in the school all day doing nothing its crap, and then the weekend hits and you cant fly again until monday because the one cfi they had there flying the twin did not work weekends.
sorry but its just not upto speed there yet.
