I thought it would be best to do all modules in-house for continuity and efficiency and I only heard a few issues of delays and had a good groundschool experience so didn't seem like an issue doing so. The US was an option with another provider, but they did not sell hour building as a stand-alone service and not advanced training had no option for EASA licensing. I am in a European country so I can only stay a maximum of 90 days.
