It all depends if you want a JAA or FAA licence, the FAA is a lot less trouble to get from a practical point of view as it is not steeped in the useless accademic rubbish that the europeans ask on the ground exams.
But don't go away thinking that the FAA are an easy option, they are far more interrested in your practical flying ability and the flight test will be a real workout of your practical skills.
Think about the job you want and the location, then you will know what type of licence that you require.
As with life you will only get what you pay for and sometimes a lot less so what ever you do DON'T PAY THE WHOLE COURSE FEE UP FRONT reputable company's will understand this and the crooks will offer you a discount to get all of your cash. Don't be tempted, it is not worth the 5% discount to hand over your option to walk away from a bad training providor.
