Congratulations and well done for sticking at it. I'm currently going through the Class 1 referral process myself and whilst the specialists have been reasonably positive about my chances it still needs to go through the assessors at national authority level for both the CAA and EASA. It seems to be fairly normal these days for a Class 1 with referral processes to cost £2000-£3000 and I know people who have been referred for things which have been cleared instantly by a specialist. It all seems to be a bit of a minefield.

BA's Speedbird Academy and TUI's MPL programme are both likely to open for applications early next year so I'd suggest by going through previous threads and doing a bit of research ahead of an application. You could look at self-funding the modular route or maybe integrated at one of the better schools if your career is something you can go back into easily after a break and you have the huge sums of cash needed at hand or are able to save up quickly.
