Timings
I was fortunate enough to be awarded an FI scholarship a few years ago. I had already completed the pre-course assessment flight (as was required to apply for the scholarship). Upon winning the scholarship GAPAN were keen that I had researched where and when I wanted to complete the course, so that they could sort out their paperwork. As long as you have done your homework (and have arranged the invoicing) I think they are fairly relaxed on the timings. I completed my course at weekends only and it took approx 3 months to complete. GAPAN were supportive all the way!
