I chose CAE to complete my ground school as I have sometimes struggled academically and felt that, to give myself the best chance, I should go to the best school. I haven't been disappointed. All of the instructors were excellent and were always happy to help me…I genuinely think that I would have done considerably less well in my exams if it hadn't been for CAE instructors. I could not speak more highly of them and would, and will, thoroughly recommend CAE as the best school.
