If I do go abroad then it has to be for the limited time stated by the schools of say 8 weeks for the whole course to be completed which is easily possibly having spoken to the respective schools, this is purely down to working commitments and getting time off work for anything longer will be extremely difficult.
If I choose the longer option of training here in the UK then the only real option available due to location and travel is Booker Aviation, who don't have the facilities at there airport for instrument approaches and students have to fly to other airports to carry instruments approaches out... again adds on to the costs of it all.
