I ran out of money doing an Integrated course in the UK. Talk to them. My school were really good about it. I left for a total of 11 months during my course to earn more money. I returned and finished the course, and you know what? I wasn't the last person on my course to graduate. Some had taken so long to get through the course normally, I over hauled them and still finished ahead of them.

I believe there is a time limit on how long you have to get your IR after ground school, but its something insane like 5 years. I'm sure someone will give you the actual figure.

My log book looks a bit funky with two whopping gaps in training, but in an interview if asked I'll be honest. No one paid for my flying. I wasn't bankroled by a rich daddy. I worked bloody hard, and when the s**t hit the fan, I did whatever it took to finish the course. If you can overcome hurdles like this, it can sometimes work in your favour. This is just life's way of asking you how much you want it.

Good luck
