I was considering doing my training with EFT who seem to get good reviews from people. the only thing I see is that I would have to do my IR back home which doesn't make the savings that attractive. They also have a course where they take you on as a FI for one year after training so i'm looking into that at the moment too.
As for not getting work straight off the bat after training (as a pilot) it doesn't concern me greatly as i'm in a fortunate position to have work if I really need it, it may mean travelling but i'll do what it takes.
