So if you effectively discount the £27K the cost of a CTC or OAA integrated course would surely come down to something more like the cost of an integrated course, ie around £50K? I guess the disadvantage would be that you can't earn the money as you go along.
I'm thought CTC came out closer to £90k plus living expenses:
£70k bonded +£20k foundation course + living expenses, could be wrong but I have been seriously looking at the courses offered at Integrated schools.
Integrated really does seem the way to go in terms of continuity of training and placement with employers but the level of borrowing involved is just huge. Looking at it as a career change getting my head around not having an income whilst training seems unmanageable and the idea of paying interest on borrowing for living expenses does not sit well with me..
