Thanks for your help charlie, i did contact cabair and was told i could either do a one year distance learning with a one week visit every three months or 19 weeks for the in house ground training.
I was told about the "discrestion of the trainer" part by the CAA but there doesnt seem to be alot of approved schools that teach to CPL(H) level or offer condensed ground training courses.
I have heard before that bristol is supposed to be good so i think i will check them out for the distance training. But anyone with advice for a good school for the flying??
