In my experience the more corners you cut the more risk you take in being either denied or sent on a document request nightmare.

Yes some people got approved with a 1 month course but a 6 month course will be approved without relying on luck.

A soft power provider without all the proper documents may get through but the gym with all documents is a much safer option

Buy cheap, buy twice! Or maybe you get lucky
