FIC Course - can I split it between two FTOs?

Hey, I'm currently doing my JAR FIC course - and I am on a bit of a tight schedule. I am starting to get a little behind due to the weather, and I am just curious as to whether it is possible to complete training at another school closer to home in the UK, or do I have to do the entire course where I am (and come back at a later date?).

Thanks

It should be ok. I did half of mine in the states (then the FIC Instructor left), and I too came back to the UK and finished it off here. Just bring a copy of your certified training notes with you!

Yes I know a new FI(R) who just passed test today and will be working ASAP when rating arrives and had to complete at competitor school after difficulties getting finished due to instructor shortage for FI(A). And why not?

A JAA approved course has to be conducted under the supervision of a head of training at an approved FTO who is responsible for certifying that you have completed the approved course.

You cannot simply move around to suit yourself and do two half courses. If you have a reason for changing from one FTO to another whilst conducting a course, then you will have to notify the CAA telling them why you wish to change training providers and request a credit for the training already conducted.

Of course there needs to be a valid reason! Sorry if I misled...
