I can only speak for the Hawker training comparing between CAE Dubai and FSI Farnborough.
Location: Dubai much better, they pick you up from the hotel and airport, easy, you don't need a rental car. Needless to say that Dubai offers a lot of things to do during your free time. FAB: always Taxi needed, nothing around. really boring. No Marriott which is usually a no-go-item.
Training: CAE Dubai okay, straight forward, qualified instructors, all questions answered, but: manuals only printed. And, in my case, 900XP not available. FSI: training better than CAE, usually you will receive that Pro-card which is a great benefit incl. the insurances. All training material online available weeks in advance before your training and if you ask questions about something, they always take care of it and send additional training material. (this question never came up with CAE because the don't send anything in advance!) In earlier years we always received a really good quality polo-shirt from CAE (still wearing them today), as far as I know now it is a coffee mug. From FSI you receive nothing- but the pro-card is worth much more of course.
During my training with FSI for Lear Jets and Citations at Tucson/Wichita/Orlando I was always happy but never had the chance to compare with any other location.
