You can`t use the search engine I know,But if you click on the box in the top right hand corner and highlight "show topics from last 100 days" it should turn up enough info.
I am studying at Bristol....very impressive.

OATS is the mutts nutts !

I averaged 90% on my 8 tech exams and I'm thick ! (ish)
Everyone else at my exams were oohing and ahhing at the OATS coursework so I have no regrets in speonding more and choosing them.

Best of luck whatever you decide !!

Regards

I found Bristol to be very good. Passed the techs and navs first time. I would recommend the 4 week residential for the navs if you have the time (and money)! Good luck.

Bristol without a doubt, still the best outfit in the business. First time passes on every subject with lowest mark in the mid - 80s and a couple of 100%'s

Best advert for them, is that in many years of following this forum I have never seen even ONE controversial hot headed or negative comment about them, how many other schools can you say that about?

I found PPSC to be excellent, and the brush up course was money well spent. I did perf with Bristol groundschool- also highly recommended.

Now that PPSC have bitten the bullet (see t'other thread), does anyone else know of any other outfits which come even close to them for the distance-learning ATPLs (and don't anyone say Bristol, 'cos I've heard bad things about them). I was literally about to sign up with PPSC.

I don't want to pay through the nose for Oxford. Has anyone any experience of AFT's distance learning? They seem like a sound outfit.

Don't know what you heard about Bristol but I was there last month for the brush up prior to doing the exams this week. I feel fairly confident about passing them, Bristol covered everything that came up.

You could do a lot worse than Bristol , PPSC for example !!!

I am at Atlantic, doing their distance learning. After looking around I find all the schools of a muchness. Except PPSC where I found one gent to be objectional. I chose Atlantic because they have an airline as back up and I would like to work for them.
Make sure whoever that you choose has a strong background, otherwise you may lose your money if they go to the wall. See my other thread. Some may go sooner than you think. It is a serious amount of money to throw away.
Good luck.
