Don't touch FTC with a barge pole. If you do your South African CPL Multi /IR then you can convert this to a JAR CPL/IR by doing a 15hr ICAO IR to JAR IR cse (10hrs sim, 5 hrs a/c) and then to get the CPL bit all you need to do is 170a and then test.
There would be no requirement to do the 25 hr CPL module as you would be the holder of a ICAO professional license.
South Africa is lovely look at 43 Air, Central FLying Academy, Lanseria flight Centre amongst others. BUt for pity's sake avoid FTC for they are the devil incarnate.
No I'm not gonna sit on the fence I just want poeple to have the right to live and not get ripped off.
Don't just take my word for it the South African Fourms have enough pro/anti FTC to give anyone food for thought.
From personla experience what you get whenyou have flown 8000miles may not be what you think you are going to get and you really need to have the ability to spot it and move whilst you can.
Whomever you go to pay no more than a deposit and then just keep enough to cover a day or twos flying in your account because once you've paid it right or wrong you ain't never getting it back.
Happy Landings
