Its doable. Groundschool is six months, my guess is this is vaguely pitched at people who can just live somewhere for that time. Parents etc. Or rent the cheapest and nastiest of cheap and nasty rooms, £250/month if you’re not picky. You just need Wi-Fi.
I likely overdid it a bit, let’s make it £6K. Transport you can get yourself a cheap moped and run it on nothing. Assuming you aren’t cycling or car sharing. Plenty of people won’t have cars.
Yes you’ll need a bit of money but the idea that this is still elitist and unaffordable is pushing it.
Or… 0% credit card for three years, job done.
