Its just difficult to check your logbook if the Flying Instructor entries are all Senor Hernandez Espilido or Vlimiditz Kyachencko. How does a small airline recruiter call the school and speak to the CFI to check your training history? On which register is your alleged training aircraft listed? Its probably not a big issue BUT, there's always a but, if I had 57 CV's on my desk for the 2 positions coming up I might very well filter out any of them that had anything 'difficult' or 'unusual' about them.

Besides, I've tried to train French and Spanish students at CPL/IR level and despite their otherwise excellent English it was always a barrier to effective communication. Flying training is 80% effective communication and 20% practice.

Do a PPL first. See how you get on. Far too many people go from nothing or 1 hour in a logbook straight to signing up for a full CPL/IR course. You might be crap. You might hate it. It might be totally different to what you thought it was.

I'm sure there's an excellent school who can do you a good quality PPL course over the next 12 months at weekends and holidays..

Sorry, I should have said. I have my PPL and hours and just finished my ATPL's. Im looking for somewhere to do the IR and finding it difficult to fit around work.

Thanks for the input.
