I don’t think there is any right or wrong way to go in getting you CPL. Just don’t let any flying school try to convince you to pay up front. Pay as you go and if they won’t come to this, find another school. They maybe desperate for cash and could go out of business tomorrow.
I personally did my CPL part time, paying as I went, while working full time over four years. I could have done it quicker and for less up front money if I had done it full time but I didn’t want to be left with a huge debt at the end of it. Mind you interest rates at the time were over 20% for personal loans so borrowing money could have been very expensive if I had gone the full time way. The mid to late Eighties wasn’t the time to be borrowing large amounts of money at fixed interest rates.
