For comparison, there are other structured modular courses available, a couple are:

Multiflight quote £37950 for the specified training but say you should budget for £50K overall

BCFT are currently quoting £52150 all in, except accommodation.

Multiflight do their basic training in the US, BCFT in the UK, hence, probably, the price difference. It does indicate that about £50K is the correct price for a structured modular course. Outside the UK

Egnatia quote €54400, about the same, all flying in Greece.

Choose carefully, pay as you fly is a better option than pay to a schedule, because these courses can sometimes stretch out beyond the predicted timescale and pay to a schedule can have you fully paid up with six or eight months to go. In this case I would have thought that 18 months to complete is nearer the mark than 12, although it could be done in 12 with a good weather factor and efficient planning. Egnatia tell me it takes them about 13 months, all their facilities are on site and they rarely over run on time, Multiflight say 15 months with some training outsourced in the States, but it sometimes stretches to 18.
