Billy, i believe the contract is a standard one with everyone having to pay the same initially, however if you have previous hours, as i myself have 80 they will credit you this on the syllabus where appropriate, however I believe they will only allow a maximum of 35 hours to be credited, this is then negotiated and the ammounts you pay are then drafted into your contract when you have had a flight with the CFI. so if you get the full 35 hours it would equte to about £3k saving.
