If I was going to do it modular again I'd do the PATH program, you save quite a bit of cash just having the student status. I know all the instructor well enough and you'll not spend bad money there
.
Certainly the groundschool is excellent and there's a continuity of training right through that you don't get with most modular set ups.
Well worth it.
Edit and you are also socialising with other people in the same boat. Which means it's less lonely than doing it totally self driven modular.
