Completed my CPL training in the US, good interesting flying, but relatively easier than the UK, instruction tailored to mass throughput and not the quality. When you do the sums also it was probably a lot cheaper to it in the UK, just pure exuberance made me shoot out there and do it, with the promise of the good weather and so forth.
All i will say is do the sums, not so good as it seems, avoid Florida, you get nice site seeing but little navigation experience. If you got lost there then give up!!! as for EFT met them nice bunch as for the others down the road at Stuart , dont bother you will lose your money
Good luck with the flying
p.s. dont forget the rules on Visas as of now!! Dodgy area
