My advice clanger is dont drop one. At the end of the day you will all end up with the same licence.
How is this for a ridiculously biased view, albeit second hand. Hostie asks how much do you owe for your training at say oxford for example? Captain and First officer look at each other and say nothing, never went. Hostie then says did you go modular? They say yes. Hostie then says "my boyfriend is a pilot and he went to oxford". And? She then says he reportedly told her that you are thick if you dont complete an integrated course! Oh dear? Then she tells crew how he has 115 grand of debt, nice one. Scratching their heads, they all came to the conclusion, including hostie that said boyfriend was missing the point. The two guys flying the jet had no debt and the same licences as integrated oxford skygod. Quick fix fast track into job via integrated maybe, if the times are good. However, what about when times are bad? Large debt, same licence no job is about right.
The above story is true by the way.

Good luck! Just some food for thought.
