The point taxistaxing is making is very valid, previous flying experience (a couple of hours) would be invaluable to you before committing to such an expense, and in fact i know FTE at least recommend it.
As for the original question i visited FTE's selection in June this year, and was very taken in by it all, I came back to the UK with no doubt in my mind that was where I wanted to train. Until the contract arrived, and I hit reality with a very heavy bump! The contract was very open ended and would have left me very vulnerable to price rises at any point during the training. With such large sums involved I decided a modular route would be far better for me, and as things are progressing at the moment I'm looking at having my CPL/IR in my hands far sooner than had I gone to FTE. I appreciate not everyone is in the same position, and different people have different needs, but perhaps food for thought?
