Richiedapilot,
I have been battling to get funds together to do the ATPL theory in Europe, let alone the actual flying
Managed to get current and do the MEP by going to Eastern Europe. You might want to have a look there too. Maybe best to wait till April as all countries will be EASA as then there should be no discussion anymore whether training is approved or not, just check the approval of the FTO.
Know for sure though that the UK accepts training and testing done there for ratings and recurrency training
