It checks all your boxes of Florida basing, F-1 Visa, degree, licence, instructor work, and quality. Very expensive though.....but you get what you pay for. FIT is located in Melbourne, Florida which is a very upscale city 1-hour's drive north of Vero Beach.
Good luck.
Extremely expensive. Prepare to spend over $150k!
