Flight School UK

Hellos,
What's the best flight school in UK to do a Flight Instructor Course ?

Many thanks,
Bruno

There is no absolute answer to this, Bruno. Which area do you want to be in? (And No, Pprunus Impatiens, I am not harshly telling him to Go Forth and Search, since I was in this boat once and know how maddening it can be to find the right combo of words to feed into the search engine)

Hi, first Thank you for answer,
I have been passed the last week search and look at websites, indeed I guess I had saw the sites of the main schools, I were using as reference the CAA document that contains a list of all approved schools at UK, you can find it at www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SRG_FCL_REGISTEREDFACILITIES.PDF (http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SRG_FCL_REGISTEREDFACILITIES.PDF) .
After that I sent a email to those which seems to have the possibility to administrate Flight Instructor Courses, but till now I had received only answers from two schools.
Of course you can tell me, why don't you call there... ?, I still didn't do that because first I would like to know which are the appropriate schools to call, to prevent a call to all of them.... :)
Finally to answer to your first question, the goal of this is to find one flight school at UK where it can be possible take the FI course and work there for some time until a change appearing to go inside a airline. I already have a fATPL/MCC from two months ago, however it seems to be not easy for someone like that to go inside a overseas airline company...

A slightly bizzare but interesting choice is DEFTS at Barkston Heath. You can google them, RAF training and good prices.
Good luck.

Thanks for the cue! but i'm not a British citizen, even if so I think that wouldn't be a option, that doesn't mean that I have something against the military aviation, but one the other hand I enjoy much more the civil aviation...

Bye

The number is in this link. They don't shout about training civilians it but they are a civvy contractor to the RAF and they do take civvy cash. They have even employed people after the course. And you get to do it in Firefly 260s and you get to dress in green and you get so see what a bit of service life look like and they have a man to fill up the plane for you and clean the windscreen and check your helmet every day - flying as it should be. (and its not massively expensive). Do it.

Tim Wooltorton was the chap to talk to
