School with variable FIR(A) dual hours

Hi all, I'm looking for a school that offers a Grade 3 FIR(A) with the hours varied to meet competency (instead of a fixed 35 hour course).

I'm Sydney based but available to travel. I'm a G1(H) and have extensive instructional experience. There used to be previous allowances for this in the regs, however it's disappeared with the new CASR regs.

Every school I've spoken to gives the blanket "you need to do all the 35 hours", or "you can do less hours, but you still need to pay the same amount".

I recognise there'll be nuances around planes etc and am not looking for a shortcut, just a school that's willing to recognise past experience (and hopefully save some $ on the way).

Thanks in advance. Cheers.
