ST,
Do you already have the required 150 hours to start CPL ? If so, I'd say UMIST's quote is a bit on the high side.
£2000 will get you the writtens done, so in theory you could start off working on them, meanwhile working and saving for the rest.
I'd say rough estimates (and these are probably on the high side) 4/5k for CPL, 10K IR (which can be done a bit later), 1.5/2K MCC.
So to start the modular route, probably wise to be able to afford the writtens and CPL, one way or another. If necessary (and to most of us it probably is), check out with a bank what kind of loan you may be able to get to help with the funding.
(Edited to say just read Aces Low's post on Modular Wisdom thread. Good points in there Aces, by the time such issues are factored in, probably does bump up the price a bit. Still think 40K is on the high side for modular though. Certainly to start the training, not that many people would have the full amount ready to spend as it were).
cheers,
GB.
