A and C, I totally agree with you and believe me, I do not want to pay up front. But after contacting the school in question, who have already had my deposit of £1000, and asking if we could arrange paying by installments, they have said no. They even want the CAA examination fees paid upfront.

What I am saying is that I feel this is unreasonable, albeit it is only 5 more grand as some others say but this is 1/6 of my budget and I certainly don't want to lose it. The school say they are well established and will not go bust but who on earth knows this?

What i would love to know is has anyone else managed to get them to accept installments? I would love to tell them to pi$$ off and go elsewhere but the course will be starting soon and I don't really feel this is an option as I believe that they will be the best place for me to do my groundschool.

I haven't mentioned the name of the school but I think it could be pretty obvious!! What's more, my Barclaycard balance doesn't go up to £5000 so I can't even pay with that!!

So do I keep hasseling them for a result then?!!
