The schools I am interested in are: 1. Cabair EPTA (Bournemouth) 2. Bournemouth Commercial Flight Training 3. CATS - Cranfield Aviation (Luton) 4. Oxford Aviation Academy 5. London Met Business School (who also do a full time ATPL course) ...unless anyone know of any other good schools. Could someone please give me their thoughts on any of the above. I am particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has studied at CATS as this is close to where I live. Thanks.    Report

Most people on my course including myself hit high 90's accross all of the ATPLs with help from Bristol groundschool. Not sure if they run individual classes throughout each module but they definatly do excellent brush up courses if you want them prior to your exams (lasting a few weeks)    Report

Man, I'm in the school right now, got 2 weeks left to finish ground school, and can't wait to leave the school !!!!! Its sooo awfully horrible !!!! its pure rabbishness !!! the administration is sooo bad and the flight training is sooo bad man !!! I've spoken with virtually every student in flight school and not a single 1 is liking it !!! they're only still there coz they already paid for the whole thing !!!! As regarding ground school, its quite horrible too, a totally horrible ground chef instructor along with other instructors ! a couple of amazing instructors thoug.h Cranfield is a really bad place too !! There is NOTHING in it !!! Not a single student here right now would recommend CATS for u ! Man, save urself, don't come here !!!! Sorry for the long comment, I just want u to get the whole picture, don't want u to suffer as every1 here is ! On the other hand, I've heard a LOT about BCFT !!! the environment there is amazing, amazing instructors, and perfect availability and everything ! As for the others, I don't really have much of a clue. Hope that helped !    Report
