As said above you can get a loan for up to £8,000
(although I thought it was £4,000 but I haven't looked into it that much). HSBC were the best people to go with for Proffesional Pilots loans and they used to give £50,000 to students that passed the entry requirements for OAT (Oxford) and CabAir
or CTC.
With it being so easy for Pilot students to complete the training and then declare themselves bankrupt they have changed the £50k to £25k and this needs to be secured on a house (usually your parents if you don't own one).
So HSBC will lend you £25k if you go to OAT/CabAir
or CTC (£70k course) and you can top that up with a Career development loan of up to £8k. So all you need to find is £37k for the 0-fATPL integrated course and £20k for a TR if you think you'll have a better chance of a job with one.
I'm still saving
