Thank you all for the informative and positive reply's! It just looks like a much more appealing option no matter which way I look at it! Cheers for the approved Part 141 school advice. That was what I was looking for and its that whole process of conversion that I was a little worried about but seems it can be done and lots of people are planning on doing this sort of thing.
Cheers fellas, time to narrow down a school!!
Exciting times ahead.
