CATS?


No, there are some changes coming but not closing down.

I have the Oxford books and my academy ground training was based on them , however , I don't recommend them for ATPL exams (too many irrelevant and useless information ) I've found many online schools (not sure if allowed to mention names ) , they are really good and the online ATPL test bank is great !
good luck .

CATS

These are just a few developments this year:
Expanded exam centre at Luton
Addition of Dubai satellite
Amendments to In House course structure from September 2016
Ongoing satellites at Cranfield, Gatwick, Dundee, New Smyrna Beach Florida, Lisbon, Portugal, Malaga Spain
The headquarters is Luton where training, development and admin is centred

CATS

I would be very careful of CATS they have lots of great ideas but when training with them i personally feel very short changed. I would recommend distancing yourself from their course at the moment until they have sorted out the cracks in their organisation.

Hi Greg

I'm currently considering CATS Luton, could you give me a more detailed indication regarding the organisational "cracks" you warned of? Cheers
