Thumbs up

Hey taildragger2
How would you regard PPSC?
Are you sattisfied with them or are they-as everybody else-lacking sufficient JAR study material?

I am thinking of taking their course so some info will be appreciated....

Thanx

DT

OK guys
E-mails will follow with my real thoughts as I know for a fact PPSC and others monitor this site. In short.....................Some fantastic instructors that can offer private tuition and really get you through the exams but as for feedback questions?????????....hhhmmmmm. nuff said? I hear rumours that rats have been seen running from this ship!......... ..............................P.S anyone who has feedback please please please speak to me, I can't pass these with the course books alone, it just doesn't work. If your from Oxford share your knowledge with the rest of us!.............Tailwinds.................TD2.

As someone who will be starting all the distance learning lark later this year, you guys are really scaring me.

Is it really that bad? Which is the best school to go with? How much did it cost you?

Please e-mail if you don't feel you can post.

People, please.......

Getting feedback questions from the JAR exams isn't going to happen over night, it's been a year now and the knowledge banks are getting fuller. I suspect that the larger schools will accumulate more sample questions purely by the fact that they'll have more poeple to get the feedback from. I will say, as a word of caution, don't rely on getting hundreds of these types of questions, they'll help, but you've got to do the study before hand

Oh and taildragger2

That's not very constructive is it! I think that they're doing a pretty good job with the resourse that they have. I have 7 out of 7 passed from their correspondence course, so they can't be failing their students can they? And I intend to make it 14 out of 14 with them in the near future.

If you don't think people on this site deserve to know the rumours that are current, then don't bother replying to my threads! It's all very well passing seven of seven , but others aren't so fortunate. Don't you think fellow PPRUNE's deserve to know the truth. WE NEED FEED BACK!!

Go with ppsc, no doubt, the instuctors are f'ing great! you won't find a better bunch, no complaints on my part but do be prepared to find your own feedback and Q+A despite what Snigs ( I need a lesson in English!) says you DO need it! If you need any more advice e-mail me!........................Tailwinds......................TD 2

taildragger2,

Who wound you up and let you go!?

If you read my post again, (no, read if carefully ) you'll see that I said that feedback and the sample questions are very useful, ("they'll help" was the phrase, I think!)

My point is that there are thousands of questions in the JAR question bank that haven't seen the light of day yet, so you're not going to get away with not doing the hard graft before hand! (S h i t happens, this isn't the American ATP so we're all faced with this situation!)

As far as I'm concerned PPSC did give good feedback on their consolidation course (I'm sure that's one of the reasons I was successful).

By all means gather your own database of questions, but be wary that all of the schools put a lot of hard work into getting their information together, which I suspect is copyright, so don't go throwing their info into the public domain unless you have a lawyer on your side!

Good luck!

I have some feedback on my website (http://www.geocities.com/bigredjumbo/index.html) but feedback seems to have dried up in the past couple of months. If anyone has anything they want to share with rest of the world please feel free to pass it on to me. You can send it to my address in my profile or to [email protected], or even [email protected].

Thanks.

Once again my friend I suggest you go back to the drawing board as you have your facts wrong!

Before you tell me that all the schools do their best to find feedback , your wrong! The only school I can see with a decent amount given the number of JAR exams taken is Oxford, and it shows! I Don't remember seeing instructors from other schools waiting for feedback Q+A at the end of each exam, do you? Ive been there and seen it as you have so lets admitt it!

I don't quite know what your relationship with ppsc or any other school is??? but it seems to me your not aware of the facts that you,I and others are entitled to know. They don't in my experience do enough to retrieve actual exam feedback Q+A! I have said though other than this ppsc have the best instructors, facilities and reputation in the land and they will get my business again, but don't you think other readers of this thread would like to know the opinion of students who have attended and have the abillity to recognise the good and bad of a school? Once again everyone else on this thread PPSC is the only school to attend as it tears shreads off the rest but do be wary when it comes to feedback Q+A...

I can't disagree with you on that one, though as I said before, proportionally, Oxford has more students taking the exams, and will, hence, get a higher proportion of feedback.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">I don't quite know what your relationship with ppsc or any other school is???</font>
None, I can assure you.

You "pays yer money 'n' takes yer choice!" so if you want the Oxford type of feedback, then pay Oxford type money!

BTW, the bit of sarcasm at the bottom is unnecessary and ill becomes you, you won't find me stooping so low!

Hey Guys, this is exactly what the ATPL DLSG was set up for. Please contribute, it is easy and painless but useless without input.

Ok Snigs

I hold my hands up to the spelling, our recent tit for tat must now as it's not helping either of our causes is it? I appreciate the banter though! perhaps we can digichat sometime? Theodor I would appreciate the feedback, cheers mate. Still having trouble getting to the Q+A on Big red jumbo site, can anyone help? Or does anyone have others? I think when I,ve finished these exams I may have a BBQ with my notes on Bournemouth beach. Tickets on sale now anyone wanna come?

TD,

I have fiddled around with the website a bit. The PDF's take a while to download sometimes. If you are still having difficulties tomorrow morning let me know and I will see if I can sort something out for you.

Exclamation

Flypuppy and 4Granted

cheers for the sites, rest assured I shall be submitting all my Q+A asap as others should because these sites are for all of us to use so come on the rest of you get to these sites and post your stuff!

Once again I'm asking on behalf of all you pprune's. If you have or do go to Oxford please please please give us some Q+A, it's not fair that we should have feedback to share with you but not the other way. You can e-mail me direct if you want!
Any Q+A that I get will be sent straight to FP of 4G to be stuck on their websites, come on guys, were all sailing the same ship here!.......................Tailwinds.......TD2
