I think that if one does not have too much savings, then it will be hard to fund for the course.
Most local banks don't recognize flight training fees as educational loans.
The bank that STAA recommends is RHB bank, but they are only willing to lend up to 6 times monthly salary or $100,000 which ever is lower.
So be prepared to source for the remaining $100,000 and that is excluding the expenses that cadets will incur while being jobless for 18 months.
Wondered how did the first batch of MPL cadets for tigerairways funded their training.
