SFT at Bournemouth offered IR courses for £10000 prior to their demise, how do I know this? They phoned me at home to offer this price just after I had finished the BCPL training with them. Luckily I had decided that flying was not where I wanted to go at that time in my life because soon afterwards they stopped trading.
So ignore the uninformed and wait for some price drops.... but make sure they are not about to bust when you pay up front...it has happened and will again.
