The content of the presentations and the books, are all far superior in every aspect to our previous supplier, and I am sure that this will make our job easier teaching our full-time students.
I am also very impressed with the service from BGS in all departments, all of your staff have been very helpful.
Andrew, Owner, Aviation South West
I see our cooperation as perfect. Your reply was always fast and constructive.
When I was choosing your training CBT the biggest advantage was the quick and efficient reply of you (Gill) and your team, your approach and service to us as a partner school has been second to none.
Your CBT is sufficient and perfectly designed for the aviation industry. I know that.
I was trained in Airbus Training centre in Toulouse twice (for the ATR 42 and Airbus-320), and after that 15 years in Lufthansa (Frankfurt and Vienna) because my company Croatia Airlines was a contracted partner.
I was flying as an Airbus captain in Croatia airlines, our flag carrier.
I was pleased to see how quality training should be designed, and your CBT is a quality and sufficient training tool. Your price for the ATOs is very fair.
