Four Modules Good, Two Modules Bad?

[sydneyc]

I appreciate this topic has been debated to death, but I simply cannot find any consensus.

Is it seen as a hindrance to a career to go modular, if that modular route is continuous, with a good FTO, together with Groundschool with a school of similar standing?

I think this question is even more pertinent in the current climate, regarding cash burn whilst studying, length of time studying and job prospects at the end.

I appreciate the "all under one roof, one phone call for a reference" argument of intergrated, but is that still a distinction if you were to fly with EFT in Florida and use Bristol for groundschool, for example?

When everyone is tight for money, there is a potential £15,000 difference between the two routes with arguably a few more hours clocked up the mod' route. Plus that £15k at the end could be a lifesaver.

I can only assume I am seeing only part of the story and would appreciate views.

Thanks
