Thanks for the replies.
I understand Stoney about the issue over paying for your own type ratings. At the end of the day there will be someone who will self finance a type rating and will probaly stand a better chance of getting into an airline than someone with a ATPL. Obviously it depends on what type rating you get and what the market wants.
If I was a very low hour ppl or hadn't quite completed my ppl like The Butler then yes I would have gone for an intergrated course such as at oxford. However with 90 hours you tend to wonder whether you'll get much saving in terms of hours with the intergrated route. If the intergrated course doesn't give you a big saving for you alreading having a PPL then it makes the PPL you gained seem worthless.
If I completed my frozen ATPL in 16 months like Flying farmer by the modular route then I would be very happy however I wouldn't mind knowing why it cost more for you (as long as it isn't a sensitive issue).
Lastly to GMIMA, I will definately take a look at bournemouth since yourself and a number of other sources have said good things about EPTAUK.
Once again thanks for the replies and any more advice would be a great help
