MCC in a week?
Hi all, can anyone recommend me either through experience or by reputation an MCC organisation where it's possible to do the course in a week? Nearly all of the ones I've seen advertised so far do it over 2 weeks. I had it in my head that this was a one week course. Are these places spinning it out over two weeks to charge more or make a bigger deal of it than is needed? Or does it actually take that long to do it properly?
Where I'm coming from is I'm just about to start a fill-in job to earn some dough post the IR, and I reckon I could get away with a week off soonish, but 2 would be pushing it.
Input would be very, very welcome. Thanks in advance.

The modular MCC course is a minimum of 25 hours classroom training and the UK CAA will not allow more than 8 hours classroom training per day.
There is then 20 hours practical training (FNPT, FTD or Sim), which is usually arranged into 5x4 hour sessions plus briefing and debriefing, and the CAA will not allow more than one sim session per day.
That means the whole course cannot be completed in less than 10 days, or two five-day weeks.

MCC in a week
Multiflight in Leeds do the MCC over eight days - back to back.
They start on a Monday and finish the following monday - so minimising leave time.
It comprises of three days groundschool and five days sim.
I have just done the course and it was excellent and superb value for money.
