Note: the UK CAA (like its equivalent in any other JAA member State) does NOT recommend any Flight Training Organisation. They only publish a list (available on the CAA's website) of all UK JAA-approved FTOs.
Better flying weather means faster courses, certainly for the part which involves VFR (such as most of the CPL). There are pro and cons to both UK and Continental options.
Cheers
