Hi all,
Interesting replies, what you have to do is plan well in advance!!!!
Currently at CCAT doing Intergrated course, cost me around £50 big ones!!!! including accom.....I'm 31, got a few friends in the industry, according to them, all is not lost when you hit 30, infact one of my mates is now a captain on A320's, he only qualified at the age of 32!!!
From my mistakes, I would advise you to get planning as early as possible, if your involved in a relationship talk to the other half, because trust me it is very hard being away from home, its a huge strain....
Shop around and don't be afraid to ask for a discount, I paid all up front, most people would advise against this, but I saved myself £5k, and I've only got around 4 months to go before IRT so don't be shy. Most importantly, prepare yourself for the hardest 12-18months of your life, I hadn't studied since college days back when I was a weeeee whipper snapper, and beleive you me it was a huge shock the system having to learn how to revise etc....again.
So best of luck, and read up on your maths!!!!!!!
