Flygirl I hope I haven't caused offence simply by asking a question ? I apologise if so.
I am just curious as to your decision to go integrated given your background, nothing more than that.
No, I haven't got anything against integrated courses, a fine way to obtain the licences. I am personally doing the modular route which suits me, but not everyone. With the required effort, I do not consider my self to be pratting around, and thus far no retakes.
The only thing I would say re: integrated is the timing and cost of keeping current in the present climate, however, the employment situation may well be rosier come your graduation. There is always of course the option of doing modular in an integrated timescale, just another option, that's all.
I wish you well in however you achieve it.
