I don't suppose anyone has had experience of both but if anyone could give me feedback on either I'd be very grateful    Report

Where are you at with training?  Do you have a PPL yet?  Tell us a bit about yourself... As for Oxford I hear their material is very good- from a close friend of mine who is using their material as well as Bristol's on the 'harder' subjects, however I think they dont have the all important question bank included so you will have to work even harder with exam prep but I have a link to a site offering free past CAA questions which I can drop you if your interested- it should be of great help.  Let us know if you need any info.

I have a couple of Oxfords CD- Roms which I do like a lot but bristol.gs do seem to have edge with distance learning. I thought I was going to hear something along these lines but because you cant buy their material individually I think I needed this before I made the leap! Ive had a PPL for a few years with 110 hours and have always had too much on to tackle this course but Im thinking it is now or never. I will be happy with an average of 80%!    Report
