hey guys,
i am interested in doing the JAA ATPL.
i have been researching about the 2 pathways you can do it, ie. integrated and modular. and up till now modular seems to be the way to go...
but i have just 1 question regarding this...the MONEY!!!
at the end of the day, which one is cheaper? integrated or modular?
yes, if you compare the fees on paper, integrated in generally more, but modular takes more time, so that might equate to more cash required....
could you guys please share your views??
thanks

I believe most people prefer to maintain a job as well as training especially as there is no hurry at the moment to get qualified.

Some say it's possible to complete your modular training for around £40k/£45k while the integrated full price is around £80k or more.

But some will argue going on an integrated course and actually getting a job is worth the extra money. But this is a can of worms ... research this forum and make your own decision.
