You know if I was cruel, grumpy, or charged an hourly rate I'd tell you do this yourself, but since its Sunday and I'm feeling charitable, one last hint for now.....

I'd suggest you type something along the lines of:

"UK CAA Approved Flying Training Organisations" or "EASA Approved Flying Training Organisations" into your search engine...

In the UK case it's possible you might find "Standards Document 31", which may be of use. You might even be able to download it for free as a pdf, EASA may well have have similar....

I'm sure you can take it from there.......

As an aside (and please take this advice in the spirit in which it is intended) aviation is a world where employers expect you to show initiative and be self sufficient. Your initial post was a reasonable request but IMHO you can't expect to be led by the hand through the entire process, especially when so much is readily available on the internet and you can send a (free) e-mail in seconds. I'd suggest that now your best course of action is to contact a few FTO's, see what information they can provide, and then if need be come back here with the list of schools you've contacted and ask if anyone here has any personal recommendations/avoids about the FTOs on your list.

I would add that also IMVHO very few FTOs are going to turn you away simply because of your academic qualifications, they just want your money, but qualifications might well become an issue when you start looking for that first job.

Hope that helps and wish you luck.
