IMCR Practice

Thanks for the responses - instrument approaches (let-down and approach procedures) are part of the training so will need appropriate nav aids at the field??

That's why I asked - if I took the course at Andrewsfield for instance would I have to fly to Southend to practice approaches? Or is an airfield with eg a bog-standard NDB good enough for the course (if not realistic in real use)?

I'm assuming everything else, such as practicing IMC in VMC with the instructor could be conducted from any GA field...

Just curious to know if any others completed their IMCr in the area and what their thoughts were.
