There's only one reason to go integrated, and that is to target a specific airline that only takes integrated students, and even then you shouldn't go "all-in". If you can afford integrated and still have cash to spare then go for it. Otherwise target the other 90% of airlines who will take modular. If you want to spread your training out over 2-3 years... go modular. If you want to get everything done in 9 months... modular. At an integrated school you go at the pace of the class. If you're smart they'll hold you back and if you're not then hopefully they'll pull you along.
Just to add that in the case of this particular school you’ll go at the pace of the class… That doesn’t mean the pace of the class is anything remotely sensible, it’s whatever is the most profitable for the school. If that means being stood down for six months doing nothing and delaying your future job then tough.
