Expected to pay for training? (Para Dropping)

Hi,
I've been offered a summer position dropping meatbombs. I won't give the location or the a/c type, because it would give the place away. (It's warmer than the UK though!!)
However, I have one reservation. I have to pay for the training, 5hrs on type at nearly £150 an hr.
As an unemployed CPL/IR I just can't afford it, but if that's what it takes...
Is this reasonable/normal??
Thanks,
GA

Edit: Forgot to say, the position is unpaid.
