hi!

both schools look ok to me. AFAIK, no bad feedback in spanish forum (try cross-posting in Spanish Forum here in pprune)

now... why not have a look to Sabena Flight Academy or AAE from Évora/Portugal?
I worked in both, and although they are not perfect, they deliver good quality students IMHO. And both are part of CAE global training.

Top fly might be a good price/quality choice.

By all means avoid Airmed and some other Spanish "chiringuitos"

all the best,

Pablo

hi Pablo, thank y for your reply I had seen about Sabena but to be honest i m scared that is not fast due to weather condition of belgium..and I also looked at their website but it seems they don t offer modular courses..
I already have my 14 atpl exams given and 200h of flight nedd IR /MEP and it appears they are more oriented to integrated courses..

small off-topic: SFA trains their students in Falcon Field/KFFZ, Phoenix, Arizona.
Weather is amazing.

For JAA IR/ME, if it's just the flight training, you can just enquire, but... I guess SFA/AAE will be more expensive than other places.
TBH I missed the part where you clearly say it's just for IR/ME

If it was myself... I would give TOPFLY a try, but that's just me.

CESDA, they have DA42 and Seneca. I don't know how's the dispatch rate of their DA42's but in other schools it's been horrible. If they have student backlog, they will take you in, but you will struggle to fly.
But.. once again, I don't know how's their dispatch rate, and how advanced the students are, it's just an idea.

Kind regards / Pablo
