CPL consolidation

Does anyone know of any schools offering CPL consolidation having done the bulk of hours elsewhere? In particular I am interested in places where the weather is guaranteed or decent this time of year.

Do you mean:

Finishing of the CPL course having started it at another school, or finishing up your hour building pre cpl by doing a few hours brush up.

Unless there are big problems with the school I would tend to try and stay and complete at the same place. You will only waste time and money shifting schools at a late stage in the course.

Can I ask why you waste time and money shifting?

I changed schools, some years ago now, but found it quicker and more cost effective in the long run, as I had been constantly held up with tech problems at the first school. The second welcomed me and my money with open arms, and got me through in short shift. Unfortunatley that school is now defunct so I cannot recommend.

No its to finish off the CPL, I have had no issues with the school, in fact the opposite. We have been unlucky with weather which can be expected this time of year. Just a bit of impatience on my part, was considering going abroad where the weather was better etc..

It's frustrating, but next weeks weather looks more favourable..

If you have big problems at a school, that are stopping your training ie: No instructors, aircraft going tech, school in financial difficulties etc then its worth considering changing, especially if there is a school next door that can pick up and get you finished pronto.

Otherwise I would just sit it out.

Currymonster, I agree with horseboxes comments but to answer your question (based on my research) fly-in-spain based in Jerez will allow you to train there even if you did a bulk of training else where
