Tell us more about this 'commercial IR' 😂
I just got a regular IR and that's worked fine for me so far. A commercial test is not an instrument test and an instrument test is not a commercial test. The cheapest way to get an IR in the UK is via the IRR - as long as you pass the test of course. That means the most important factor is going to a quality school. The fact is, schools want you to follow the 'full' IR route because they get a lot more money from you.
