Wow. €85.000. And how much more chances of a job you have then doing your training at a no-name modular place?

Ask for the stats of the amount of students that graduated in the last 4 years, and how many actually work as a pilot at the moment.

Ask references of those that are flying and contact them if they are paying to fly.

My advise, look for a more affordable outfit and safe yourself half of what you are about to spent. Put that part in your bankaccount.

Go hourbuilding after obtaining your CPL (instructing, paradropping) and then when you have at least 1000 hours, get a type rating, go to Asia and use the last part of your money to pay for your cost of living while flying a shiny jet for a meagre wage at an Asian operator.

Then in 5 years time you will also have spent that €85.000 but you would have spread your risk and been able to accumulate a lot more experience than the 150 hours you get out of a integrated course....
