I disagree with whopity's point.
The pre-entry test is just what it says. A test prior to the actual course to see if you have what it takes. It is not part of the FI course. This evaluation can be done by any FI-instructor (a FIFI) long before the actual FI course (5 month I think)

You could argue that if the FI-instructor that runs the course really needs to do the pre-entry test, then this test should have been integrated into the FI-course itself, and not be a "stand alone" test.

Regardless, the very first lesson on the FI course is a "right-seat familiarization", at that is what the FI instructor needs to validate the student.

I actually think that it is optimal to have one FIFI pre-evaluate you, and another to do the course.

and btw.. a CPL test requires you to be in the left seat, and the FI test requires you to be in the right seat. I don't really see how (and why) this could be combined.
