Do not recommend at all. I have agreed with the Cirrus UK school for a full EASA PPL + exam course. After 14 hours of flight with average price 500 (five hundred) per hour, I received an email from the schools director which said that Cirrus would ne longer teach me. Having asked the reason for this, I received a response after 2(!) weeks, which indicated that they had taken too many clients and were forced to refuse some of their existing ones. I was one of the clients chosen. In response to me asking as to what my fault was, I was told that the issue isnt with me, but their decision is due to the financial reasons: they have sold a lot of airplanes, and didnt have time for me. Once again, I have paid the 500 regularly. Besides this, it turned out that they did not tell me until 31.01.20 that they are not going to teach me EASA PPL. After 31.01.20 all of the hours that I have flown for EASA PPL (32 hours) are completely void because EASA PPL schools in the EU no longer count hours flown in the UK. In this manner, cirrusaircraft UKs negligence has lead to me needing to restart my flight hours for EASA PPL from scratch. I have requested a refund on the ground of them not warning me that they are losing the right to teach EASA PPL. In response I have received a letter indicating that there will be no additional communication, and that I would need to go to court. Not a word of apology from then, and no suggestions as to how to get out of this situation. Once again, for 500 pounds an hour. Well, court means court. Feel free to go there, you will lose your money and faith in the Cirrus reputation. As of April, the site is continuing to advertise training for EASA PPL, which does not correspond to reality. Be careful when choosing this school.
