www.plh.co.uk (contact details on this site).....Whilst I have self sponsored, it was through a business plan which I put together with the help of these aviation consultants.
As a fresher at uni, I was told by someone from the University Air Squadron that becasue of my four eyes that I would not get in. Despite my passion for all things aviation I felt put off by this and stupidly never tried for military selection.
I now have Career Development Loans and other loans (unsecured) which I have only been introduced to through these consultants. I would not at a local helicopter school as an instructor now or be well on my way to a CPL(H) without there help. No pain ..no gain I'm afaid. At least look them up and do your research. Any probs , give me another shout.
