Helicopter advice

Hi, I am new on the form and I am currently interested in obtaining a Private Helicopters Pilots licence. Although I had a couple of questions and I was wondering if anyone could help please.

1. What should I look for when picking a Helicopter schools?

2. What is the average cost? the general consensus from the schools around my area (Bournemouth) seems to suggest to budget for somewhere between £13,000-£20,000 for everything.

3. Is there any schools in Bournemouth that anyone would recommend?

4. This question is fairly subjective but how hard are the exams to sit and obviously pass?

5. Final question is what sort of job opportunities are there if I was to obtain a Commercial licence?

I would appreciate any help and thank you in advance, and I thought that this would be the most appropriate area to post. Sorry if this is in the wrong place but was advised to put this in here my someone in Spectators balcony.
