My advice, and please please consider it is this: do not go massively into debt at this time. You are aware that at the moment there are no jobs? I dont suppose PTC go into much detail about that of course, but its true. First thing to do is get your ppl, and pay as you go. Pay lesson by lesson, hour by hour...do not make any big downpayents. After you get a ppl and some hour building then consider your options, if its still what you want to do then start thinking about going somewhere to do ATPLS and then CPL/IR. Believe me never ever get taken in by the marketing drive of somewhere like PTC - Especially now with the current financial crisis around the world (ie. do not get into 100k debt), the high oil prices and airlines going bust.
Just be careful.
