There was a scheme a few years ago similar to this ,where you paid a selection fee and I think one or two candidates got sent to Jerez for the intigrated course. It was a bit of a scam because there were literally thousands of applicants, it really was a lottery with each ticket costing £180 pounds or so.

I think the plan was to sell enough "tickets" to more than cover costs and provide a tidy return. After much to and fro-ing and stalling a candidate did eventually get sent to Jerez. There was a name for the scheme but I can't remember it for now. Just be very wary of schemes like this as there will be a catch somewhere, noone is going to give you an fATPL for £150, these guys are trying to make money out of you somehow.
