Part Time CPL/IR training
Hi All
Due to work commitments I would only be able to do ME / IR CPL training 4 days a week. Are there any schools doing training in the UK where this would be possible ? Is it possible to complete the training on a part time basis like this. Has anyone done this ?
Thanks in advance

Pretty much any modular school I'd have thought.
A word of advice, as I did my CPL that way (albeit some years ago with a school since gone bust) if you're splitting your time, do the flying lessons in the morning, other stuff in the afternoon. I performed and learned much better when my brain wasn't full of work / shopping / whatever else I'd done earlier in the day.

The few schools I've contacted that do modular have said they would like me to be available for the full duration of the course. ie available every day for the full 6 - 8 week course for the IR the same for the CPL. Maybe now the schools are busier they can afford to set the rules

Contact some more, there will always be some that do what you want.
I'm upgrading my CRI to FI part time at the moment - the vast majority of schools would prefer me to be full time (and really weren't interested in showing flexibility involving the fact I've already been an instructor for 12 years), but I did find one that was prepared to offer the flexibility I needed to fit around my busy full time job. The same will apply to you I'm sure.
