converting FAA instuctor to JAA instructor

[MEI]

Already have my FAA instructor ratings and want to get my JAR one. Am currnetly finishing up my ATPL exams, will do the commercial conversion and instrument - multi but then want to get the instructor over here. What's my next move. Can I just take the course approved by CAA or is there something else. Also just a sidenote, is there a place in the U.K where they do FAA instruction. thanks
