PPL Advice

Hi all,

I am looking to start my PPL training as I finally have the financial backing to make a start with my childhood dream of becoming a commercial pilot. I plan to make this a reality by following the modular route. The first step of this process would of course be the PPL.

I have contacted several flight schools in my area and have been quoted a variety of prices which range from 8500-12000+. Being realistic I was going to budget for this to set me back by around 10.5k.

My question is, is it best to complete the PPL in the UK or complete it in the USA as I have seen it is significantly cheaper. I know I'd have to factor in accommodation, flights etc. Or the alternative would be to complete the PPL in the UK and hour build elsewhere. If I were to go with the first option, would I have to complete any conversions before completing anymore of my training?

Any recommendations or stories of past experiences would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
