I joined SFC for the ATPL ground school September 2018 and completed all 14 exams in the 3 sittings with 1 resit in the 3rd module. Quality of the ground instruction was great and having a good group of students we all worked well together. 

I then completed the CPL before ME/IR with 1 instructor for the full course, the knowledge and standard of the training was 2nd to none and very enjoyable I completed the training in minimum time and with a first time pass, at no point did I have any delays due to aircraft maintenance or any issues with the aircraft. 
 

The ME/IR was much the same I had mainly 1 instructor, lessons where regular and on some days 2 sim sessions where possible. The sim was great and helps a lot before transition to the aircraft. I completed the MEP in the Seneca and the IR in the Diamond both 1st time passes. Both aircraft where well maintained and had no issues. 
 

Overall I would recommend stapleford as a very friendly family run school with high standards and very good quality of training and instructors who really care and made the whole experience enjoyable. The cost of training is also very fair.
