Yup that's correct.
I am seriously thinking of going for the self-funded path. Saw on STAA website that there are places i can get a study loan on this. Currently they are only providing for MPL for Qatar.
I however want to fly with Tigerair for various reasons. Anw that means that i have to apply to CAE. I think i can get a loan from a bank for this as well not so sure.
