Windypops,
I guess it is down to personal choice. BCFT worked very well for me. Very friendly atmosphere, excellent training, very supportive staff etc etc.
Any prospective student should visit several schools before commiting, you very quickly get a feel for the place by checking out the facilities, and chatting to the students and staff.
The quoted costs are what you pay, but allow ~10% contingency for potential extra hours, exam fees, and misc stuff. However I don't think many overshoot budget by very much.
After finishing took ~8 months got 1 interview and 1 job
