Purlease don't go into the course with the opinion that the cheapest is the best. The FIC course is when you get taught how to fly and should be treated with upmost respect. Forget all the CPL and IR bollox, the FIC will teach you that you can't even do straight and level properly. It is imperitive that you find a good school and not a cheap school. Remember that at the end of the day, your students are paying over 100 squid an hour for your instruction and it would be wrong if your training couldn't match their investment.
