If you choose to go distance learning, as someone else said, don't be wowed by shiny things. All of the courses can be accessed on an iPad, for example, and second hand iPads can be bought for much less than the school price if you really want one.
Also bear in mind how many chunks the course is broken up into, and the structure of the study weeks. I couldn't afford to take three weeks off at a time (two week brush-up plus one week exams) so went for the three chunk approach. This gave me three lots of two weeks leave as opposed to two lots of three weeks leave. Also made the exams a bit easier.
I've been with CATS, they've been great. Last set of exams next week so fingers crossed. First time passes so far, so hoping to keep that record!
Good luck...
