If the course has been approved by the NAA then its legal however; I would advise you not to go there. I once saw a FI who had completed a course in about 1 week. The FI Course conducted properly will take 4-6 weeks, if you reduce the time you may have ticked the boxes but there is little chance of understanding what they mean. When you go for a job you may be asked to give a long brief, a short brief and perhaps demonstrate an air exercise, if you can't do it to the required standard they will show you the door.

Before each flight the FIC instructor will give the student a brief, then the student will give the FIC instructor a brief for his give back. For each hour in the air you will need a minimum of 2 on the ground and then there is the debrief. If each flight hour absorbs 3.5 hours then 5 flights a day will absorb 17.5 hours then you have to eat sleep etc, it just doesn't work! After the second flight you will learn nothing so most of the time will be wasted.
