in NZ some of the student loan factories are charging what they like because the students cant go anywhere else unless they learn in a new town.
They also have students sign contracts which commit them to finishing half or all of the course.
I remember Auckland Helicopters leasing a 300 from across the runway because a student arrived too big for the R22s they used. They charged him 500 an hour.
That was in 2003.
Seriously, You need to get a little more proactive about your training. You only need to get more proactive when you start looking for work.
