I did the NEAR/NAIA programme, and I feel okay with it. They were open about the fact that prices are estimates, and of about $40.000 or so to NAIA, I finished the program with less than $500 to pay extra. For the norwegian part, not so clear -- had to pay some 30.000 NOK (about £3000) extra, and this seemed to be the minimum (some people had to pay 80-100k extra). Good quality of training overall, but I feel ground time was somewhat pricey compared to the usefullness (read ATPL classroom crash course).

I havn't been anywhere else, so I don't know if the grass is greener on the other side. From what I hear, it might not be. So all in all I'm happy with it.
