FIC
Ive also done the FIC at stapleford, many of the people there who do the commercial training continue and do the FIC. The course is run by Keith Pogmore, who is an excellent instructor, with lots of experience and a 100% pass rate. The course is run on the c152s, warriors and the c175 so definitely alot of variation with the types you get to fly.
The bulk of the training is on the warriors to enable students to get paired up, so basically in the same amount of time you get to run through the course twice, so once with yourself doing it and revision through the student your paired with. Definitely an advantage.
I cant answer for all the people who have been through the FIC course, but certainly the people who have finished in the past few months have found no problems with regard to finding employment.
I'd definitely advise you to at least go and have a look and talk to the people who are there, they are obviously the best ones to give you advice. If you are considering any kind of training you should really go see the schools on your short list and go with your instincts.
