I second the praise given by John S with regards to Roger Henshaw and would like to thank him for the time and effort he has shown towards the students at PPSC during their study's and especially for everything he is trying to do now to ensure students are not too badly affected by the sad closure of PPSC.
THANK YOU ROGER FOR PUTTING YOUR STUDENTS FIRST AT ALL TIMES DESPITE YOUR OWN PERSONAL HARDSHIPS

Sympathies to all involved....but why did this happen? Nobody seems to have answered this question yet - or even had a go at rumour control!! And what has happened to 4Forces? I thought that they were just moving to Cranfield (hoping that they wouldn't get burgled so much!!!) and were teaming up with an FTO.
Tech course was miserable except for Dave Webb (and when i draw arrows I make sure they aren't red!!) and the ex BA 747 Engineer but I passed the lot about 4 years ago.
But Why oh Why???????

Just caught up with this thread. Unbelievable news. For me PPSC got me through the ATPL Nav exams, the Techs and Perf A - all first time.
My best wishes to all ex-PPSC instructors and hope you are able to find something new soon.
The cream will always rise to the top.....

Just a quick note to all ex PPSC staff to say a very big thank-you for putting up with my impressive inability to learn over the last 12 month. I wish you all the best for the future. Good Luck, Ali.

Just like to add my good wishes for those wonderful boys and girls at PPSC. Cheryl especially was a real star and helped me out a great deal a few months back. Just hope they all land on their feet soon ( a new school opening up perhaps ?? ).
Good Luck to you all.
Good Luck to you all.
Well, here is another one who would like to sympathise with the staff (and students) of PPSC.
I went through one of the last non-JAA courses and got all my Nav and Techs on the first go, when I had to convert my Oz ATPL.
I thought the courses and teaching were to a good high standard, and am sad to hear of PPSC's demise.
So thankyou all, and best wishes for whatever comes next.
- and I too would be curious as to why this has happened. A direct result of the cost and complication and the loss of students involved in moving to JAA training???

Where have I been for the past 12 days I ask myself! I have only just found out this evening about the sorry demise of PPSC.
I weighed up the options for distance learning and based on cost and excellent recomendations from ex-students, chose PPSC. Part way through module 1, I along with many, am left wondering what to do now and thinking of the money that I have lost.
My sympathy goes to the staff at PPSC. I used to work for an airline that went out of business and it was not an experience that I would like to repeat. Good luck to you all in seeking new employment.
If any current PPSC students know what the next step is & how much this might cost, or if we just have to start again, PLEASE let me know!!

Just returned from the PPSC Creditors' Meeting in Southampton..... the future is not bright, and it definitely isn't Orange!Doesn't look like there will be much, if anything, in the pot once major creditors and liquidation fees are paid off.... ho-hum.

If you are a recognised creditor, you are by law bound to be notified of any creditor's meeting.
You should now contact the Receiver for the company to complain. But beware, don't go chasing after money that isn't there, and also remember that there are preferred creditors like Customs and Inland Revenue.
