If you don't mind me asking:

How much (Total) did you end up paying to ATP?
How did you pay for it?
How did you pay for your living costs?
Where did you live (Are you local?)

Thanks![/QUOT

The total cost of my training was $37,995 but the cost has gone up to $44,995 due to high fuel prices. Examiner fees are not included in that. You will spend at least $2100.00 on examiner fees. Figure at least $300.00/checkride and you have 7 of them. Some examiners are more. My parents loaned me the money so that I wouldn't have to pay interest on loans. But, ATP helps out with all of that. They have a financial specialist who helps you get student loans which can be deferred. That is how the majority of people pay for the school. There are no living costs if you attend the 90 day program. They supply a fully furnished apartment from a local apartment complex from whom they rent it from. I did the 90 day program in ATL(a great place to go). The complex there has a pool, tennis court, and gym. It is also a gated community, it is about 5-10 min. from the airport. The only thing you pay for is food. I was living in Greensboro, NC at the time that I attended ATP. I picked ATL because I had gotten out of active duty with the Navy and was not working, so the 90 day program was the most effiecient way to get everything accomplished and start making money instead of paying. There are over 25 cities in which ATP has locations. If I am not mistaken 8 of them offer the 90 day program, they are Atlanta, Jacksonville, FL, Manasass, VA, Stuart, FL, Dallas, Pheonix, Riverside, CA, and Sacromento, CA. Post any other questions.
