need some advice please

hi everyone,

Im currently 17 (18 in march) and in my final year of a-levels at college. Becoming a commercial pilot has always been my dream. I am thinking of going to South Africa at the end of this year to start my training. Its in Port Elizabeth: 'Aptrac' its called. I just wanted some advice on this really, as i dont want to make any mistakes along the way. Im doing English Language, Media Studies and Communication Studies at A-Level, because i wanted a back-up plan of the media industry, incase the pilot ambition failed for some reason. I contacted 'aptrac', and they said that maths and physics a-level isnt a must. Also, is getting a proffessional studies loan a good idea? I Would be very grateful if you could give me some advice on what i should do. Many Thanks.
