School in EU for a fast FAA-PPL Conversion

Hey folks!

I'm new to the forum but I visited this page already hundreds of times. Thanks for all the knowledge in here!

I am an FAA private pilot with a bit more than 100 hours. As a US and Swiss citizen I learned to fly in the States and now back in Switzerland, where I grew up, I want to convert to EASA-FCL. I started the validation here but I'm getting frustrated as it takes forever (forever is about 4 months) so far. I don't want to imagine how long it would take for the conversion, so that's the question:
Do you know of any flight schools with conversion programs?

The course should take me all the way to the licence. If it takes a few weeks that's okay. The UK would be great as I'm probably going to work there for half a year. But if you know of any flight school with such a program anywhere in Europe just tell me.

Maybe I can work out something with my Swiss flight school. But I want to check out my options. Thanks a lot!

I know only one flight school with such a course yet. This one in Germany...
