The integrated courses are not the only way to go.

The "self improver" route (200 hours minimum) is cheaper even though it takes more hours, and you are able to get a GA job more easily if you have enough command hours to be insured to fly a GA aircraft with passengers! And haven't been "spoon fed" throughout your training. No need for all those twin and IFR ratings in the early days, add them on later when you have enough experience to handle them, and enough hours to get a job using them.

When looking around, ask for some references from former students, and see how long it took them to get into industry. Ask some employers which product they like, don't believe all you read on here.
