It is worthwhile to note that if you train part time for your FI rating you may have difficulty being matched up with another trainee to do the mutual (20 hours) component of the training.
You should ask the school about how they deal with the mutual component if you do not have another trainee to share the cost of the mutual. The ultimate price of the course could vary considerably. Also, you should make specific enquiry about how the school delivers the Principles and Methods of Instruction (PMI) course. Some schools will just give you a book to read and do not give a face to face 12 hours of instruction in the PMI.
All the best! An Instructor rating is a great choice.
