I can't agree Aces Low,

If I'd trained in 150s on my PPL instead of Warriors, the whole thing would have cost £4000. That includes absolutely everything, accom, travel, and the 4 hours UK training I had on my return. In fact the only thing I had to buy was a kneeboard, evrything else - books, whizz wheels, maps, fuel drainers etc came as part of the deal. If you can tell me a UK FTO who can give you a PPL, night rating and 50 hours for anything like that price (not forgetting to include travel costs for every time you go there) I'd be very surprised.

You're right, intensive courses aren't for everyone and some people may need more than 4 hours when they come back, but for me it was a real no-brainer, buddy. With the exchange rate as it is at the moment, it should cost even less.
