With the weather as it is you'll probably end up with a modular course even if you wanted it to be full time.
I've recently finished an FI(R) with Keith Pogmore from Southend Flying Club, he's also a Flying Instructor Examiner so the trainings pretty good.
Reading Material I used was all my old PPL books and the Flying Instructor Manual, rememeber your only going to teach to PPL level so refreshing your knowledge from the PPL books should be sufficient.
If you want to know more e-mail me back.
I would recommend doing the course, it's great fun teaching others to fly.....
