Hi Chico
I'd say if you're looking for quality, as per the above suggestions, the list should include Duncan Bickley at Aeromega in Cambridge.
I should declare an interest; I instructed there for a couple of years, after doing my FI course there in 2011.
I found the FI course to be rigorous and, well, just seriously good. I came to it with 1000 private-owner hours in both turbines and in piston Robinsons, and learned a lot while flying with Duncan, both about how to teach and how to use the R22 safely as a training machine.
While working there I was encouraged to develop my skills further as part of a very professionally managed set-up. The whole ethos is sound.
Hope this helps.

Thanks!
Hey, thanks for your suggestion UniformKilo!
Yes, I'm sure I'll go and meet all of them at Helicopter Services Ltd., HeliAir, Central helic. and Aeromega.
I'm seeking, of course, for the most reasonable training / costs ratio.
Unfortunately I haven't got unlimited economic resources...
However I really want to convert my FAA CFI rating into EASA FI(H) on my EASA Commercial licence according to CAA UK CAP804 (30hours ground school an 15 of flight).
Thanks a lot boys!

FI(H) in the UK
Hi guys,
I am looking at a good FI(H) school in the UK preferably (but would also look elsewhere in europe). Are the suggestions from above thread last year still actual?
That is should I still look at the below;
Helicopter Services Ltd
HeliAir
Central helicopter
Aeromega
Any other suggestion?
What about www.nheli.se (in Sweden) and Helicentre Aviation? I have met them both at Helitech a few years ago and they seemed a good option to me.
Let me know your unbiased views on the above please.
