Integrated vs. Modular – which is the best way to get your frozen ATPL?

Integrated Flight Deck Programmes
If you want to complete your training in under 2 years and can access the funds to pay from £66,950 over 12 months then this is absolutely the right option for you.
The quicker you can complete your training, the quicker you can apply for roles within airlines and start earning from £25,000 as a First Officer. Students that choose this route are typically able to fund this with finance from parents, inheritance, secured loans – or a combination of the above.
With FTA you have the option to pay for your course over 12 months. If you were to enrol on one of FTAs Integrated Flight Deck Programmes today, for example, you pay an initial payment of £14,000 and the remaining balance over 12 months.
The course fee includes all your airport fees, uniform, books, instruction, tests and flight time. The only items you need to fund separately are any repeated phases, and tests. Your accommodation is funded by you too, although support is given to find the right arrangement for you whether it’s a student house, hotel, hosted family or apartment. If Option A (priced at £66,950) or the alternative, Option B (priced at £79,950) of the integrated training is not viable for you, you can elect to study on a modular basis and it is practical.Posted in: why be a pilot, cost of pilot training, modular pilot training, modular;, integrated pilot training

Is it ever too late to follow your dream?
Alexandra O'Loughlin11 Jul 2017
A question we often get asked is: "What is the maximum age to start my pilot training?"
The simple answer is: there isn’t one. Pilot roles within the aviation industry are endless.

Pilot training: no back up plan required
Alexandra O'Loughlin07 Jul 2017
We speak to lots of A’Level students who are undecided about whether to pursue their dream of becoming a pilot. So often we hear that they are pondering whether they should go to university and study towards a degree ‘just in case’ they need something to fall back on.
