Some good advice from the previous reponses. My advice is choose a school where you can do both the CPL and FI course, remember continuity is everything. You'll also get an early return albeit a small one from your investment by doing the CPL + FI. Based on trainining several pilots I would advise against doing the IR first. Its like going from the bottom to the top of the ladder in one go! Very difficult and the pass rate is not great.
