wbryce's figure of 23k isn't far off the mark for UK based training rates. I did my CPL/MEIR earlier this year and it cost me just over 20k. The breakdown looks something like this - 6 hours MEP conversion in the Seneca, then 55 hours IR(split between 35 sim and 20 in the seneca), then 15 hours CPL training in the arrow. Also factor in 2 skills test at 712 quid each plus aircraft hire for both tests(another 2 hours seneca and 2 hours arrow). Also factor for extra training hours with the MEIR. I needed an extra 3 hours which at £350 per hour soon mounts up!! As a word of advice dont expect to do any of these courses in minimum hours, rarely does anyone manage that. The package prices you are quoted by FTO's are all for the minimum hours. It is not uncommon for people to need for example 60 - 65 hours for the IR, so the cost soon mounts up. If any of you are thinking of doing your CPL/MEIR here in the UK then seriously budget for over 20k, probably nearer 22k. You'll also need another 3k for the mcc but thats another story.
