What to look for in an instructor school
I'm currently training for a multi-engine command instrument rating at Archerfield in Brisbane, Australia.
Once I finish (around the end of the year) I'd like to continue with an instructor rating.
I'm now at the point where I would like to start looking into the various schools in the area (SE QLD, northern NSW) at their instructor rating courses.
Before I start making some initial calls, I want to create a list of things I should be looking for in a good course.
At this stage, my thoughts are:
Or if anyone recommends a school, let me know (by PM if you don't want to post publically).
Thanks!

At this stage, my thoughts are:
- Aircraft type (therefore cost)
- Average time to complete course (have heard full time courses usually around 3 months)
- Start dates
- Average number of students per course
- Potential for job at conclusion
- Industry contacts the school/instructors have for future employment
- Potential for charter work with the school
- Total number of students/instructors at the school (indicator of job prospects)
- General vibe
Or if anyone recommends a school, let me know (by PM if you don't want to post publically).
Thanks!
