Wannado: If 'home' is UK or Eire based, there is a 'support' group for when you return with your licence, (we just had an excellent fly-in to RAF Cosford). See
UKSA Flyer Community - the participants often say where they learned in SA so you can ask the ex-students. Also there's info like SA medicals in the UK, UK law for SA PPLs, and there will be some more news fairly soon on flying to France., I hope.
