Hi Nick
Have you considered doing ICAO instead of JAA. By this I mean doing PPL and hour building in the states, canada, S.africa
. It will save you some money as the ICAO licence tends to be cheaper than JAA. Once this has been completed, with the class 1 medical (which I suggest you get ASAP) and the ground school you can then return to the UK and do the JAA CPL and Multi IR. I did my PPL here in SA and have to say the training is great. Its also cheaper than doing it in Canada or the states. If you would like more info just PM me.
Hope this helps
