it seems like i can only find out the full details of any loans once i'm accepted on a course, it would be interesting to see if my mum could remortgage. the problem being, that i wouldn't be able to pay back the mortgage until i had a job, and it's at least 2years down the line, probably more judging on what i've been reading!!
Is it true that the first medical HAS to be at gatwick? and about £400??
i want to get my medical asap, so that it's out the way, and i know i'm fit to fly!
i've read so much, i really don't know where to start. i don't know the best way to raise the funds now, and i don't know whether to keep applying to sponsorship courses, as if i do and don't get thme its a few hundred wasted, but then if i get one, it makes the whole financial outlook a lot brighter
i was reading the threads on scrogg's link, and i'm at uni, like i said doing engineering, and i really don't like it. i don't know what it is, i just don't enjoy it. everybody seems to say do the degree, but to be honest, it's another £15k of debt to pay off at the end of 3years on top of any loans i would be taking out to cover my pilot training.
i know it's a risk but i suppose you have to take risks these days.. it's looking more and more like i'll be going for self-sponsored, mainly due to the costs of simply applying for a sponsored route. (my parents are both separated and my mum's school may be closing this summer, which would mean redundancy for her with no pension or pay-off apparently). and with me being at uni, i have no real source of finance to apy for the tests and travel to these places.
does anybody know if the loans can be used to cover living costs and accommodation aswell as the course costs?
i'm just popping off for dinner then i'll finish reading the "is it all worth it?" thread, it seems to hit the nail on the head for me too
