Correct for OAA and CTC but FTE's £84,000 includes food and accommodation.
If you add up all the charges listed on the websites, I reckon you're looking at £90,000 for FTE and £93,000+ for the other two (depending upon the cost of living). That's a lot of money in anyone's language but as long as you pass the course I think it's a great opportunity. I wouldn't want to fail with that debt burden around my neck though!
I note that CTC include the air fares to and from New Zealand but I couldn't see anything on the OAA website about who pays the fares to Phoenix and back.
