The point I'm trying to make is not that integrated is better than modular or vice versa. CTC have a hold pool. In that hold pool airlines take cadets. Majority of the cadets are placed, providing they have reached the required standard. This is unique to CTC. No other training school has this type of hold pool in the UK training market. In order to be in the hold pool you need to do an integrated course, and it has to be at CTC. Doing an integrated course on its own is great but if it isn't with the right training organisation i.e. they don't have any contacts you are on your own when you finish. That's the way it is at the moment. That's the way it was for me 5 years ago. I got relatively lucky because I had my own contacts before I started training. If you don't have any contacts and are embarking on this treacherous journey cold, my advice to you is if you want to ensure you that you have the best chance of securing airline placement upon completion, go with CTC.
