They have JAA instructors and examiners on staff.

They just do examining and mainly administrative tasks.

The CFI will be JAA as per the requirements.
I was just mentioning Standards Doc 39 for general PPL training.

They meet the requierments of JAR FCL 1.300 Appendix 1 though, so they are legal.

Naples, OFT, OBA/EASA all operate the same way.
EFT has JAA FIs who also have FAA CFIs etc.

But your right - your paying 3 times the price for something which they are probably paying about 1/3 for.

They've also got a reputation for shoddy standards even compared to the US JAA standard, due to their in house examining, and are considered by some to be the lower quality output of the USA....
