Have a look at AFT down in Exeter. Web site Airways Flight Training: Home
Their Flight Instructor course are highly regarded, and in a nice part of the world. Brian Marindin is head of training there ex Cathay top bloke.
Good luck

Give Manchester Flight Training a call, they are now running FI courses out of Halfpenny Green at Wolverhampton, Chris Caine is the instructor, a very experienced guy with 1000's of FIC hours under his belt. Worth a call.

Hi Nick14,
thanks for your reply.
I know the link but it doesn't work ,
I have to be correct, the main page works but if you try to access to other section, there's the error 500 server error.
Anyway, thanks for your help, I found the email contact at least.
Have a great time.

Andrewsfield

Do have a look at Andrewsfield.
Lovely little airfield.
Great atmosphere
Excellent instructors especially Bob Gardner.
On site examiner with Carole Cooper.
No long Taxiing.
Compact Club House with very good reasonably priced resturant.
Lots of "plus's" if you are located in that part of the UK.
