Modular Training Continuity

Hello all,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm currently studying my A2 levels and PPL in the UK and evaluating my options with regards to commercial flying.

Without intending to start a modular/integrated debate...

One of the key arguments I've heard for not going down the modular route is that some airlines are wary of students who've trained this way, citing a lack of 'continuity' to the training. Specifically, is the issue with not having a continuous record of training and performance that an integrated course would provide, or is it a matter of airlines preferring to recruit solely from a large integrated FTO that provides pilots of a known calibre?

If the issue is with not having a complete record of training from day one to licence issue, is it possible for a modular student to collate this information themselves, through keeping copies of school training records and test results and thus presenting a detailed log of their training to a potential employer?

Thanks in advance for any help.
