Bear also in mind MY that any school that says it can do it for £25 can't.

This is because there are numerous add ons like CAA Fees, 170A Fees (Practice tests), Flight tests, overrunning of course lengths, preferring more a/c time over the large sim time in those prices, personal equipment e.t.c. e.t.c.

A typical profile unless your an ace flyer is that you think you can do it in the minimum hours and then a week before the test it all goes pear shaped and you end up putting the test off and flying more which is v expensive at IR Level. Believe me I have been there and seen and compared stories with many students and that scenario applies to 80% of us. Furthermore I have gleaned that WWW's figure of £35k (Exc MCC Course, but inc everything else from hour 1) is the bare minimum these days.

You may hear the odd person or two that have spent less, but they are extremely limited. Hope that is of help, and welcome back all by the way from me, hope to start posting more again.
