Except it would be the cheapest actual instrument instruction that you would get!
Is that bit of money worth killing yourself for? Like i said, the IMC rating was meant to get you out of trouble, not in trouble.

A normal instrument rating course is about 45-50 hours. What makes people think they can do the same after 15 hours? Because the simple fact is, they can't, and they should not.

I've trained people for the IMC, and they have passed their checkrides, but i don't believe in the rating for the simple fact that too many people use it as an instrument rating. Besides the UK, there are not alot of other countries who (still) have one. (I would say none, but i am not sure about that). I imagine that is for a reason.

People who get the IMC rating, to use it as an instrument rating are, to my opinion, not fit to have that rating to begin with.
