Career development loan can be used for ppl if you plan to go on to be a cpl. (
) Not sure if the lender will still be doing it now though. Ask your instructor as i'm sure he managed to get one at some point. i did but it was a long time ago.
Pity the NVQ scheme stopped, 23% off training costs! More if you were a higher rate tax payer too.
The days of £104/hr all-in for an R22 SFH are a distant memory. The fuel alone is nearly that now I bet.
My advice is don't sell your car to get a ppl whch you may hardly ever use.
