Thanks for all your replies guys
they have been much appreciated.
I have one further question. So far as I can work out, the license gained on this course is identical to the license gained at somewhere like OATS or Jerez, places like this are cheaper AND the teaching is in english. Why is there not more mention of them on this site? I can understand that some people do not wish to leave the UK for such a long period of time for personal reasons etc. but there does seem to be a lot of people talking about Jerez. So why do people not consider alternatives? This is not to put Bae systems down in the slightest - I'm sure the training is first class, but there does seem to be alternatives.
Can someone please put me straight on this since I kinda get the feeling that I'm missing something really fundemental!!
