bristol 2 /sfc 1
the problem i see with bristol is that is a bit far, i checked with google maps...
SFC seems closer to central london (20 miles according google maps)
bristol is 126 miles according google maps.
so if i need to go a couple of times for the lessons it would be better a closer one.
OAA seems like has bases on heathrow, gatwick... so u can land and stay there as they probs will offer accomodation for that time.
what do u think guys?
thanks for the info!

txeriff - Seems nobody knows anything what they are talking about here!
SFC does not do ground school! - London Met is normally for SFC.
Oxford, is in Oxford.
Bristol GS is distance learning, you study at home, and go few weeks to Bristol.
I recommend first you use the search button and find out what you want, and try to learn some of the right terms, so people know what you are asking about.
Either you do full time at school or you do self study/distance learning. You can't normally just drop by when you feel like it.
In school - 6 months, self study 12 to 15 months study time. Good luck!

OAA's Gatwick and Heathrow locations only offer Type Ratings. If you want to do JAA ATPL theory, they offer distance learning or resident courses, but the DL brush ups are in Oxford, as are the resident courses and exams.
If you couldn't figure this out on your own, are you really cut out for distance learning?

Exams can be taken in any of the exam centers.
And DL is not 2 years. There are a heap of regulations about time scales sitting the exams and also how long they are valid for.
You really need to go away and research what you are letting yourself into and also what ticks in which boxes you require to take this further.

yes in distance learning. I know folk that have done it quicker as well.
There is no way you could get a residential course done in the same time. I met folk that were doing the residential course on the first brush up and when I went back for the second they hadn't even finished the first set of exams studying
Depends how thick you are and what your background is.
And from your posts you seem to have not alot of clue about what distance learning is. The requirements for it. What the process is for it. Or for that matter what it actually involves. It takes quite a bit of self motivation and dedication to work your way through the 13 books. The drop out rate is huge at this stage.

You need to sit down with a bit of paper and lasors (you can get this on the CAA web site)
Then plan out your different options along with costs.
So
PPL- done
Hour building
Ground School
CPL
IR
MCC
