Personally I would hold off a bit and get yourself a bargain. I read on another post of one training provider knocking 10k off their course. When you start to see the big schools advertising heavily and running road shows begging for students I would go to them and make an offer and see what they say. Afterall they can only say no!
Remember of course to NEVER EVER pay up front. SFT cost many the shirts off their backs and ended their dream of being a pilot. That schools downfall happening in a recession as well.
