The cost of balls out self funded, 0 to twin IR !

Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

Just been bored searching a few sites in the uk, and was wondering what does it cost now for the standard civilian to start and finish his training in the uk.

I will set the parameters at : PPL(H)
CPL(H)
FI (H) optional dependent on career path.
MULTI ENGINE rating
IR M.E

And now that VAT has gone up to 20% I think, been out of the country for to long to pay her majesty anything. The average joe bloggs that gets sucked in by the full golden sell of certain establishments, to be an offshore captain in a few years, will spend anything from 75,000 pounds to 95,000 pounds. I wonder how many people finance their houses and sell the wife just to get the possibility of a career.

I stand to be corrected about my pricing, but just wanted to get a more realistic costing for the end of 2011. Has generally the training industry seen a downturn this year, or become stable with people walking through the door saying " I want to be a helicopter please ! "
