If you can afford to do so, then going to one of the "big 3" is the quickest way to achieve licence issue.
Simply nuckle down, get on with the work, pass all the written exams first time with an average of 90% or better. Complete the flying within syllabus hours, and excel in the MCC phase, and most importantly of all be a TEAM PLAYER.
You are then ideally placed to be recruited
That is one reason why you would choose one of the "big 3".
The aviation market can be a fickle place and the sooner you become marketable the better, as when the bubble finally bursts those with a job and experience will survive. Those who do not will unfortunately languish in the wilderness.
Those who for what ever reason, decide to go down the modular route accept that it will take longer (Integrated typically 60 weeks total including the MCC), and if you are working then you have a potential safety net, and probably less debt to worry about.
Each training route has it pros and cons; however a modular customer who achieves high marks in the written exams and excels in the flying / MCC are really worth considering for employment. A certain determination has been demonstrated.
It is MARKET FORCES, simply SUPPLY & DEMAND which drives the whole process
