Everything you want can be provided on a modular course!

A modular course takes no longer than an integrated. In fact it may not take as long overall if you work really hard at the flying side, and a large chunk can be completed away from commercial schools. Instead of a year at a commercial school you really only need perhaps 9 months.

The course can be all-inclusive, I can think of at least 4 schools (including, I admit, my own employer) who offer the whole course, and if you book correctly there need not be a gap between modules. No need to travel back and forth!

It is a misapprehension commonly repeated here that a modular course is not "full time". To most of our students it is. The option is there to sit the modules independently, but that adds to the flexibility it does not force you away from the pattern of training you want.

Big Air
have your funding arranged and your contract signed you are commited and will be completing your training
This is entirely possible with modular training. With my experience with SFT and other peoples with other providers it is also very unwise, and a distinct disadvantage of an integrated course! Put it in trust or escrow account to benefit your training provider as training is taken if you doin't trust yourself.

There is still no given advantage for integrated ...
