EASA CPL+IR not on glass cockpit

Hi all,

I'm doing my UK ATPL exams at the moment and am struggling to find a flight school that fits what I'm looking for.

I want to do a CPL + IR (either SE or ME, not bothered either way) on round dial instruments, NOT a glass cockpit. I don't intend on flying anything with a glass cockpit for a while and don't want to restrict myself by learning on one (please no arguments as to whether it is restricting or not, that's not what this thread is for).

I'm struggling to find somewhere outside of the UK that does this, and has a decent reputation.

Fly In Spain (Jerez) - have friends that have been there recently. 4+ months for their licence to be issued due to their slow paperwork once they've got all your money.
CAVOK (Hungary) - very hard to find information about their reputation.
UK Schools - twice the cost of doing it outside of the UK.

I understand that Europe is generally going glass these days, but I'm planning to go job hunting in Africa and similar places, so would prefer dial training.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
