Thanks, scroggs and foghorn, for your swift replies; very useful.
So ok, you've established the main reasons for the difference in price. Is the conversion THAT expensive from let's say Oz to uk, to make up for the huge difference in price?
And what about the standard of training? Anybody know anything about that?
Would it affect your job chances (some years from now of course) if you were to train outside the UK. Would future employers take the view that you've taken some sort of 'cheap short cut', because like most people who ever want to train to fly, i would like to do it as cheaply as possible.
At the same time i don't want to take a route that will affect my chances at a later date.
By the way, i'm half way through my ppl and like many other wannabes i'm not gonna let this thing deter me from pursuing my dream. It may take a little longer but i'll get there one day.
Thanks again
