I dont understand why this thread is so long...... Pay 30-50K for a license or pay around 100K for the exact same license?????!
Urm... Lets try it a different way...
Pay £400 for a 42 inch samsung TV or pay £1000 for a 42 inch samsung TV?
One thing I dont understand is people who are willing to throw money away. If you go on the OAA site you can look up the APPFO course and what it involves along with the cost, around 85K all told (not including TR).
Then just click the modular tab on the OAA site. Their modular includes the CPL/IR/MCC/JOC for about 30K.
Lets say you were to go modular and did everything you could at oxford:
- JAA approved UK PPL can be done for 7K and in 4 weeks at some schools in the US, and inc. night qual & RT.
- Hour building in US to get you to 100 hours PIC and 150TT can be done in 75 hour block for £5500 along with a few hours in UK. Total: £8000
- OAA ATPLs distance learning: £1200!!
- OAA CPL/IR/MCC: £29000
- OAA JOC: £2000
So after completing PPL and hour building cheaply in US and partially in UK you can then go the whole hog with Oxford if you wanted, to the point where you'd be in the exact same position as a APPFO graduate.
The total cost for the same license done modularly at Oxford Aviation would amount to;
£47,200
Yet their APPFO course is practically identical after your completion of your PPL and hour building but they manage to charge people double for the same thing. The best part is, people fall for it!!
