No responses in nearly two weeks... hmmm. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. I don't know anything about them other that what their website says. Seems like an OK deal, standard training vs. most of the other academies, and you are likely (website says 100%) to get a CFI job with them afterward making $40K/year.
So I assume with no responses either nobody knows much about them, or they don't have anything bad to say about them.
Here is the only other thread I could find about them:

At last count there have been three incident involving their aircraft. One had a nosegear collapse, one ended up dirty side up on the runway, and one had a real life forced landing in the practice area....just a few weeks ago.
....and these are only the incidents that I know about....two made the news and the other happened in our practice area. There could well have been other things that I don't know about.
Reading the other thread again I'm shocked to see that people are still wanting employment contact info.
All I've got to say is that if you go to work there and you find out how much it sucks or you get hurt in their junk equipment, at least you'll be able to say that you were warned.

Well, you can add another incident to my list:
Not exactly living up to their name, are they?
2 safe after plane lands on Phoenix International Raceway parking lot in Avondale

The Arizona Republic
A single-engine plane made an emergency landing Wednesday evening on a parking lot of Phoenix International Raceway.
There were no injuries and no damage to the Cessna 172 or structures on the ground. The plane is registered to John Parris of El Mirage, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
The pilot and passenger appeared to be heading toward Phoenix when the plane's oil pressure indicator light came on and they began to lose power, according to fire officials. The pilot landed about 5:35 p.m., the FAA reported.
"Fortunately, they had a huge parking lot underneath them," Avondale Fire Division Chief Art Snapp said.
This is the first emergency landing at the raceway, off Avondale Boulevard and Baseline Road, he said.
