Treat the figures above as a starting point rather than a verdict. What decides it is what you want the qualification to do — the fee you can commit to, the city you can move to, and the outcome you are actually after. Where a number here is blank, it is blank because we could not source it officially, and we would rather show you the gap than fill it with a guess.
