Hi,

I am currently towards my ATPLs and looking around UK where to do the practical part. I always wanted to be an instructor before moving to bigger staff. The schools that suits me better are Professional Air Training (Bournemouth) and Airways Flight Training (Exeter). My question is:

They both do the Multi CPL/IR and both with huge standars but just AFT do the FI rating but is not a PPL level school so, is it better to do the Multi CPL/IR in on of these schools and then go somewhere else like Tayside to do the FI rating with a hope of job after training, or better to do all the training in AFT (ME CPL/IR + FI) without delays and gaps between courses and with a better solid foundation and training records?

By the way, I am not English! Spanish living in Bristol working part time and studying with BGS and hour building out of Kemble! (Converting my PPL from Spain to UK)!

Thanks!

A personal choice as ever.

Obtain your level 5 ENGLISH as a minimum, preferably level 6
UK CLASS ONE MEDICAL issued?

Think long term, and consider the MCC course as part of the training package.
The ATO of your choice are probably best to advise you.

More flying clubs in southern England!
