Need help making decisions on training

So yesterday I attended an assessment day for CTC wings programme. I passed their group stage and aptitude tests but I failed on the interview. I'm only 18 and due to lack of experience with interviews and also the 'outside world' maybe my examples were a bit too weak.

They offered me a chance to apply to their ICP(IPP) course but after doing research into it there are many disadvantages co pared to the wings programme. They also gave me the chance to retake the assessment in 6 months.

My options right now are to retake in 6 months, do the ICp course or apply elsewhere to school such as Oxford or something. What do you guys think?

I'd say to retake in 6 months and get prepared for the interview meanwhile as well as apply to OAA, FTE, BA Future Program, Stella Aviation Academy and all the other flight school (or "academies").

You have another option, go modular with CTC which is called CTC take-off, also take a look at the Integrated vs Modular thread.
