I find it very sad that the reason you state for trying to become an FI(R) is to gain experience. It would have been so refreshing to have read that you actually wanted to teach or try to pass on knowledge to new students. With minimum hours and an integrated course I suspect you have no desire to be an FI but want others to pay for you to log another hour P1.
Harsh comments, yes, but at present there are many FI s seeking work who actually want to teach and enjoy it and I hope they get the jobs first.
