I have got through the skills assessment and have a provisional start for March 2008. As Lurking123 points out, it is very expensive. You'll be looking at around £80K ir the training, accommodation and food.
I am looking at doing it in the US, with conversion partnered with PTC (Ireland). The cost of the course is in the region of £51K, which includes the FAA course, the JAA conversion course, accommodation and food. Saving me enough money if I want to go to Ryanair (for the type rating. Still alot cheaper than going to OAA.
On the other hand i know someone on the course there, and he's enjoying it immensely. But it all depends on how deep your pockets are.
Look at some other schools to see the savings you can make!
All the best
