I have also done the RT practical as my flightschool did it for everyone as a precautionary so that's done at least.

Thank you for your advice!
The courses would have to be approved they are approved under EASA Part-FCL and/or UK Part-FCL. While they are both still the same, 2 different regulators and thanks to our previous government they don't recognise each others courses. If the school was dual approved, then check your course completion certificate, for the MCC and UPRT they may reference both UK and EASA. If they don't you could try asking the school to issue one.

Check your insurance, you may be able to get legal advice from them regarding taking action against the school for mis selling the course . However aviation is small world, things do go around fairly quickly.

Have you tried Bioflight? It's Aerial Survey work, however they have P68's based in the UK and they have issues bringing EU pilots into the UK to work, their aircraft are Danish registered.

Thank you !
Unfortunately, nearly all airlines are like that, they don't give any feedback.
