Epic do not offer JAA. I got my FAA CSEL and CMEL IR there in 6 months. Im converting to JAA via Bristol at the minute which is much more intense than FAA. I heard Epic lost alot of their fleet and have been making cut-backs. They did however get a new seminole glass cockpit. The instructors are good and the cost is more appealing than in Europe. If I had to make the decision again however I would have done everything but my timebuilding in Europe no matter what the cost was. Much less hassle.
