Is it possible to totally fund yourself through an ab inito course (through loans, credit cards, CDL's etc) or do most people have a few quid in the bank to start off from?
I am planning to book a block of 5-10 hrs or so of flying to get a better feel of my own aptitudes before going on to look at obtaining further funding and a 1st class medical.
I have been through the Cranfield aptitude tests/medical but didn’t have the perfect vision so I am hopeful on the above. The only sticking point comes from the ability to raise the funds from scratch by myself.
Has any one gone through a similar route i.e. totally funded themselves or does any one have any helpful comments.
