1. Good choice with GTS, definately the experts & will you thru' the GS.

2. I don't see why the GS/ exams and then CPL flying should conflict with full time working? 2 week GTS course (taken from your A/L - if you pick the right spot it may only be 9 days (8 on phase 2) due to a BH in the period), then take the two days exam time a month oir so later.

3. I recall the police don't work M-F 9-5 but have shifts and rest days that rotate around the week. Plan your time ahead and you may be doing the exam days at Silsoe or wherever on rest days (hence no A/L used). May apply to parts of the course as well?

4. The CPL flying part could be a week later on (Sat to Sun next).

5. At least you have some money and an alternative while you collect the exams/ CPL/ ME/ etc.
