I went to Malta school of Flying, I received 22 hours of ground tuition, I decided to leave after they booked my exams on the wrong day and charged me 92 Euro for 4 mock tests.

I was given a bill for 1100 Euro for 22 hours of ground tuition, 8 of which involved being sat in a room with a computer while the instructor was out moving aeroplanes!

Be careful guys.

Yes, a self-study course definitely takes self-discipline, but if you have a good instructor, he/she should keep you on track by assigning you reading assignments. Another option is to sign up for a course offered by a local flight school or university. However, even this will only teach you the theory of flying – you will still need to do a lot of self-study to pass the written and oral exams.

I worked a full time job and my certificate ended up taking more than 40 hours. However, I think this was directly based on a “you get out of it what you put into it” model. In other words, if I had not let work and other things cloud my mind and get in the way of pre-studying for each lesson, I would have finished sooner. Self study (ground school) is hard for some who lack the discipline…. I probably fell into that category.
