I'd be extremely hesitant on training at the moment. No one really knows what Europe is about to do. Airlines here are still somewhat fragile and it's being reflected in other parts of the world now too.

Get a job and save money like you've never saved before. Do as little of your training on credit as possible. When you start seeing green shoots of recovery then start thinking about training.

I did more of my training on credit than I planned/would have liked to. Paying £500+ a month on loan repayments for the next 5 years won't be pleasant. Yes it'll be worth it in the end but theres no point suffering when you have the time to save money. Yes, it's less than most CTC/OAA students are paying back but that doesn't make it ok.
