"The benefits may well be worth it to learn with Dennis or Q."
As I said before, it may be worth contacting Dennis K. I 'think' he's living back down in Shoreham, West Sussex, so could train you one-to-one on full-ish time basis out of Shoreham Airport. (most likely in an S300)
His full time students would usually stay down there at a local B & B whilst undertaking their training, negating the need for excessive commuting, and you'd have plenty of time on the ground with him.
I believe Tim Price is also in that locale and he would be able to test you once you've finished training.
