I´ve been looking for centuries in CA....
If you really did spend a lifetime looking into UKFT and came to the conclusion that you CAN get a JAR licence from that outfit then you should check your research methodology. When they say JAR "COMPLIANT" warning bells should start ringing. Have you seen any reputable school use the word compliant in their advertising???
The list of approved FTO's is on the UK CAA website. If a school ain't on the list then it ain't approved, simples.
