Afternoon all

Ok here goes, I have seen many places from oxford charging anything up to £63,000
and orlando flight training up to $40,000 plus IR conversion of approx £8000 so call it $51000 - Point being I am confused I have not yet chosen a school as I am nervous, everytime I research one I always seem to find bad opinions here. (I know these things have to be taken lightly but they stick in your mind when trying to make a choice)

My ultimate question being what is a realistic figure to complete say a "Pilot Programme" ie . modular but in quick succession?
**Please exclude a type rating cost in this figure**

Also can anyone put hand on heart and recommend a genuine school concerned with training and not glossy magazines and uniforms if you get my drift.

I am thinking in the region of maybe €60,000.(Remember its modular)
Please let me know what you think.

Thank you all

regards

30% is a bit much,,, remember the interest rate is also working on your loan..
