I would like to ask you guys what suggestions or routes do you think i should do asap before the sept09 academix year starts.
I am 25 years of age, and only have 28hours of ppl study, im working full time and dont have any strong academic background. I have always thought about getting a degree. However I would also like to get a cpl and have future aspirations to become a commercial pilot. I am at a dilemma at the moment, i do not want to continue my employment and wish to start studying asap, but dont know which institutions or providers to choose from.
the choices are:
Aviation Studies for Commercial Pilot Training - FdEng - Course Information - Undergraduate Students - Kingston University London (2yrs)
This course offers a foundation degree along with a CPL.
BA (Hons) Air Transport with Pilot Training at bucks uni. (3yrs)
BSc Honours Degree in Air Transport Operations + ATPL at city university (3yrs)
FTE::Integrated course Integrated course with FTE, this is quicker, though i would have to secure a loan over house for around £80,000, accomodation included
CTC
£69,000
Distance Learning Courses and Adult Education - The Open University Just continue my employment, and get a open uni degree in maths etc. and finish off the PPL (might take a while partime)
Ive been told that if i want to become a pilot, i just need to go to a good course provider like ctc, Oxford aviation or fte. others say cabair reputation sucks.. Though i have been dwelling on getting a degree.. regardless of which i choose i still get to get a loan even for the degree integrated courses, minimum of 50K+
are there anyone else in the same situation? or has taken these courses? did u enjoy it?
Hopefully i can get some good feedback, to make a well thoughtout decision asap and maybe benefit others in the same situation.
Thanks people!
