Behold, the Oracle...

Oracles were thought to be portals through which the gods spoke directly to man. In this sense they were different from seers who interpreted signs sent by the gods through bird signs, animal entrails, and other various methods.

Right so maybe no animal entrails but certainly lots of info. All in the form of Oxford Aviation Academy (OAA) PPL Training DVDs. 9 in total covering all aspects of the theoretical side to the PPL. I have had it on good authority and high recommendation that these training DVDs are very very good. So i've scrimped, saved and busked and managed to get myself the complete set.  

The training books that i got as part of the training package are by Pooleys which, I have no doubt, are respected publications. However the style in which the information is delivered, I have personally found hard to follow. The joys of being dyslexic. So the video based teaching is more suited to my learning. In the absence of time to do more ground school sessions this is the next best thing. I'll let you know how they go.
