Thanks for all the replies!
I think the general consensus is that if I get my head down then there shouldn't be too much problem with the exams. If the volume of the content is the main obstacle in this, then I'll bear that in mind when starting groundschool.
Uplinker, I appreciate the warning regarding the training cost, but thats the risk most of us are having to take nowadays. I don't mind being a bit late on the property ladder if it means landing my dream job!
Richard, I suppose the biggest difference from university is turning up in an actual smart uniform! I will be applying for all of the part-sponsored schemes (BA, easyJet, etc.) next year when I graduate, so if I could get accepted onto one of those that would be very ideal!
I appreciate all the advice and useful info
