hello,

pay after fly, or give a small deposit like a few thousand pounds, but never pay big cash.Pay with a credit card if you can.

case1: student came and sign a contract for a commercial, he saved 10% if he pay upfront. He paid something like 13000 pounds, 2 weeks later, school bust!They had to file bankrupt.
he lost his money.

case2: a student had 10'000$, one day the manager closed his business and took the money of all students. Student lost 10'000$.

case3: I paid to the school 500$, same school as #2, flew during 2 weeks, manager quit and took my 50$ remaining. At the end I lost 50$.

my question do you prefer to lose 13000 pounds, 10'000$ or 50$, or 0$???


what people don't get, when you pay upfront, your money goes in salaries, planes, maintenance, Air cond., fees, fuel, ....
What is left on your account, is just an account with a number, but it doesn't mean the money is here....the money is gone!it 's like if you buy tokens to play videogames...in all cases your money is GONE! GONE! GONE!
