Just my two penny's worth,
I saved up and started modular back in 2010, Went to London met full time and completed my practical training at Stapleford Flight Centre.
I can fully agree that the training was excellent and the instructors was first class.
I managed first time passes on all exams and passed with minimum hours.
Once the training had finished it took me roughly one year to get my first job (Which is on the Airbus 320)
Before this job I had interviews with 3 different small operators.
