Hi guys, I am re-opening this thread as I have not had much luck with the negotiations. I have paid my deposit of £1000, bearing in mind that this is for ground school, and the school in question want my remaining balance of £5228 before the course starts. This INCLUDES the CAA exam fees.

So I emailed them explaining my concerns and requesting a system whereby I could pay over time. They wrote back saying no. I am determined to pursue this as I can't believe that they need the exam fees upfront as well.

So I was basically wondering whether anyone has had any luck with this so that I can use it as a bit of a levering tool, not mentioning names of course! Just any details as to how they have negotiated the deal etc! Also, is there any legal footing I have to refuse payment upfront? I am reluctant to go elsewhere but I will if need be!

Thanks for the help,
sk
