Default Accelerated Flight Training Center (AFTC)

Has anyone had any experience with this accelerated training center based at the Long Beach Airport? I and a friend of mine are considering taking our 172/SP from KSAT to Long Beach to go through their Instrument Course.
We understand from their website that you are "Guaranteed" to pass your Oral and Checkride. If you do not, the retraining is no additional cost until you do pass. We have not been able to get through to them as of yet (left VM's, which is somewhat concerning). Does anyone know anything about this outfit?

Hope this helps. ps no refund was given for the 3 days not used.
I sent them an email asking for detailed questions [I like details] and never got a response [still waiting]. I've subsequently dropped them from my short list of potential Instrument Training sources.

Yes sir: I recently did the 10 day course with AFTC and could not have been more pleased. Professional and they made it fun. We finished in 9 days and true to their word I received the unused days cost within one week.
This is probably the best flight training I have every received. Even though they had 6 IFR students on going at the same time we all received individual attention with our own instructor. I chose them due to prior client recommendations and I am happy I made the choice.
Good luck
