Thanks

Well from what I can see the 'Advice, Guidance and Career Tips' aspect of their service is highly debateable for the money you are paying.
As for groundschool then I would advise you to enrol with one of the better established schools. Why pick a new venture when they are no cheaper? Personally - I would go with Bristol GS simply becuase I know Alex Whittingham there to be a truly above average tutor and that in my many years of dealing with Groundschool issues I have never heard a bad word said against them. OATS and ATA also have good reputations...
In summary I think PAC I think - unproven, new, no significant cost saving so whats the point.
I don't think their psychometric assessment and tips on airline interviews are worth spending any money on as every airline is a little different and - frankly - an airline interview is just an interview like any other professional job interview. Taking 'A' psyhchometric test and receiving feedback is only really of any value if the airline you apply to uses that same test. It would be far better to invest in the various books dealing with how to improve your scores on aptitude tests for example.
A few people in contact with me have enrolled with PAC and perhaps reports of glowing praise will change my view.
I don't suppose they are a rip off or anything though. Its a very hard market to break into and offer something new and worthwhile.
