HELP !! - London Guildhall vs Oxford
Hello Again Wannabes
I need HELP
Which is better, the £2,000+ ATPL Groundschool course from London Guildhall Uni or the £5,000+ cost for the course at Oxford.
I know there is living expenses ontop and i know this has probably been done to death, so ANY help much appreciated.

Did them at guildhall last year, only dropped one, oxford notes look better and they get more feedback questions from students.
if money is no object, then i would probably choose oxford though it is quite possible to pass them all first time at guildhall which a few in our group did.

I did both Oxford in 1998 and Guildhall in 1999.
At that time, it seemed OATS was only interrested in the students money. They couldn't care less about modulars. If you weren't CAP 509, or BA Cadets, forget it. Their notes were crap at the time.
Went after that to London Guildhall, where I met lecturers concerned about their ability to teach, rather than the RAF ex-navigators talking crap in order to be able to afford a pint I met in Oxford.
True, Guildhall doesn't shine as much as OATS.
But the quality of the lectures is so much better.
I did not fail one exam there out of 10 I sat.
Now, it was few years ago, but still, I recommend Guildhall, especially if you can buy OATS notes from Transair Pilot Shop down the road, or even borrow them.
Good Luck.

They're both approved and well run schools. It comes down to YOUR ability, effort, and determination to succeed at the end of the day.
Best of luck pal.
