Just wanted to add my backing to this comment. I have just completed my CPL skills test but came very close to failing after approx 35 hrs following an 'incident' during landing. The likes of FTE, Cabair and Oxford advertise their course as designed for someone with zero hrs. I have seen people (myself included) in the short time I have been training throw lots of money down the drain because they did not do any training before starting the course. At £195 per hr on a PA28-161 (Warrior) its much much cheaper to prepare for that solo flight at a small flight school first.
