Paying for PPL in instalments- standard practice
Hi all,
Finally decided to pursue my PPL properly after some previous trial lessons whilst at uni last year.
Most places are offering "packages" around the £9/10k mark. Some are including the cost of theory exams etc, whereas for others this just totals to a better hourly cost on 45 lessons.
Is it considered standard practice to pay in instalments for these "packages"? I'm guessing payment terms if so are more rigid than just loading up a prepaid account with a grand every few weeks? I'm committed to getting the PPL but would like to spread out the costs as much as I realistically could whilst still getting the equivalent of a bulk discount. Are most going to be asking for a 3k, 3k, 3k type thing? I have taken into account via previous posts the danger of flight schools going bust with your money too...
Thanks for any advice and experiences. Am sure it's a case of contacting each school one by one is reality!
