Hi Guys,

I'm in the process of deciding where to complete the FI Course and more importantly, what factors I should consider when choosing the school.

I'm currently in the North West but can train anywhere in Europe.

Thanks.

Couldn't recommend Andrewsfield Aviation / Carol Cooper highly enough - excellent standard & quality of FIC training.
Good price, nice club, friendly & professional! But you also have to put the sweat & work in...

Good luck!

Andrewsfield - couldn't agree more.
I completed a CRI course earlier this year with Bob Gardener.
Superb, demanding, comprehensive.
Big bonus - no long taxiing or holds - straight on to the grass.
Friendly atmosphere and a great integral restaurant area at reasonable prices.
On site examiner with Carol Cooper but beware, she is no push over.
Be prepared for hard work.

Thanks guys.

It's such an important decision and I hope I can get a job lined up after I finish.

Another vote for Andrewsfield. I did the CRI course with Bob last year, with Carol as the examiner. She can play the part of a numpty student perfectly!

Another advantage of Andrewsfield is that they have a caravan you can use which will save you loads on accommodation costs. I stayed in a Travelodge in great Dunmow (about 3 miles from the field) and got a good rate (about £30 a night I think) by booking well in advance but it would have still worked out pretty costly for a full FI course.
