Blimey, That was Quick!

So what's all this talk of ten working days, with delays due to bank hols and stuff?!

I am officially a happy bunny- all module 1 passed first time. Apart from Air Bore, sorry, Law (88%), all in the nineties. So I'd like to thank my Mum, my girlfriend, and also Roger, Dave and Pete- the excellent instructors at GTS; without whom none of this would have been possible.

Anyone else?

Good luck chaps and chapesses.

Ciao!

Yup, i'm bouncing around the room and counting the minutes till the pub opens too! (14at the moment)

Just passed BGS Mod 2 (Only Just!) so would just like to thank Alex and the crew for getting me through them - if you had taught me for my A levels I would probably have passed all of them as well!

Alex - You should write "An idiots guide to GPS" - I can still picture your examples and probably will for the rest of my life! For those of you that haven't had the pleasure, its hilarious and it works!

I can't believe it!!!

Also had the good news this morning, all 14 are now in the bag. I can only re iterate Capt BK's comments about the guys at Bristol and add my own personal thanks to Alex, Tom, Ken, Baz, Colin, Noush and Jacqueline for excellent tuition and support. I would also like to thank the lovely Cranfield invigilators and the honey behind the bar at the Star & Garter in Silsoe, who kept me going through the hard times.

Oopps

Thanks also to Mike - who taught me almost everything I know about cavitation in low pressure centrifugal type fuel pumps - and a few other bits and bobs.

Unhappy

4/5 Mod 2 BGS passed, failed Air Law with 74%, must be due
to advancing years and loss of brain cells. Too late
to retake in June will have to wait till July. Well done
to everyone!!!!

Thumbs up

Top marks go to Bristol Groundschool! I recommend them above all others.

Passed all mine in mod one. What was that someone was saying about light at the end of tunnel?

Thanks again to Alex and all at BGS.

VFE.

Well done to everyone. I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, then realised it was Alex with a torch bringing me some more question papers.

Rote 8,

Good to hear you wrapped them all up too! That rear end from The Star and Garter was simply amazing wasn't it - I think i'll have a shave and pop down on the off chance

Re. LP centrifugal pumps, is that cavitating or vapour locked . If the rumour I hear about Mike is true I wish him well and a swift recovery

Ah Cessna Boy comes in from work to find the dreaded one! (No not the wife)
Well BGS you have done it again!
8 out of 8 Mod 1 (Avg 91%)

Big, Big thanks to Alex, Baz, Ken, Tom, Noush, Jaq and any others I missed.

I still cant believe it.

Mod 2 bring it on.

Regards to all who took the exams, and wishing you all the best of luck with your results!

Well done guys

Mind if i ask a couple of questions, particularly to the BGS guys. How long did module 1 take you? When you went to the brush up were you very confident or was it the brush up that really consolidated it? Also did you mostly use the notes or cd?

cheers

Mostly notes but the CD has same pretty cool animation
on it. Time for mod 1 ,4 months but I have already done
the old CAA stuff 6 months seems about average but it
depends on you. Went to brush up thinking I knew very
little so they really bring you on till you feel confident
in the exams.
