I can't think of many schools that would be jumping up and down to help you unfortunately. Most run a mile when you try to get them to pay for your Medical. The reason I say this, is that it won't be alot of use to them, for instance unless you've got a lot of hours IMC, you can't teach IR stuff. Therefore in their eyes you don't need it.
Also an IR means you're more likely to go off and get a proper job!!
Sorry to sound like a damp squib, but give it a go as we'd all be interested to find out if it is possible!
If you can't get them to help, how about a career development loan. £8K interest free and with a Two year repayment holiday. I'm sure you know this already tho'.
Good luck.
