There are two competing schools of thought on the subject.
And two completely different types of persons, that adhere to the doctrine of their regimes.
Plum Stone Vs Boot Strap.
Integrated Vs Modular.
There in no right way, or wrong way.
Other than what can you afford to lose.
Don’t bet the farm on it.
If you do not have £120,000 in ready cash for starters.
Then you are forced to, and will be far better served going modular.
If you go modular, simply follow Rudestuff’s advice.
Save your money for later on.
You’ll need it.
Many learned people say ‘the magic’ starts with the MCC/JOC.
And you’d be better off saving you money for a good one.
If you go intergrated make sure you visit all the schools.
Not just on the high pressure sales days, but after hours too.
Talk to as many people as possible.
Watch the ‘you tube’ video series ‘life as a L3 cadet pilot’.
Then ask yourself if you could spend a year and a half with them.
Jack James is a piece of work.
It’s not a sure thing. It’s still a huge gamble, that may pay off, but may not.
Many people feel let down by the Big 3.
I don’t know, or really care where the problem lies.
But to think you can’t get a quality education outside of Eaton or Harrow, or Oxford or Cambridge is silly.
So why to people flock to the aviation equivalent?
Also go visit all the other U.K. schools.
You can not gauge it from a web site.
The only places I’d stay away from is Oxford and Greece.
For in the end it’s exactly to same license.
Top Integrated £120,000 or Budget Modular £40,000.
And everywhere in between.
You pay your money, and you take your chances.
You just have to decide where you fit in best at.
All roads lead to Rome.
Find your path that best suits you.
