Spitfire,
One of the things that concerns me most about doing a modular course is that it is entirely possible that each module is done at a different training establishment meaning no consistency.
Like I said, I have read a thread on here (no idea if it is true) that one of the things that puts airlines off modular students is a lack of a documented training record and/or periodical reports on a students progress. I have to say that I can see why.
In my opinion, a modular course should be one that is done with one training provider, just like an integrated course, but allows you the freedom to start and finish the course when your time/finances dictate.
If there is any truth in the notion that airlines do discriminate against people with a random training record, surely it is better to play safe and do all the modular training with one company.
Just a thought.
Best of look with it though. I'm sure you would be fine with the ATPL theory.
As for accomodation near Guildhall.....Expensive.
