Where to do FI course?

Hi
I have recently decided to go down the FI route and have funding in place. I am looking for an FTO which is within an hour drive from either Bristol or Cambridge. Your thoughts would be appreciated as I really want to try and organise this in the next few days to start asap. I have already tried Aeros who do their course in Gloucester but they have a waiting list until the summer. I want to try and get the course done asap so that I can take advantage of all of the spring and summer flying time.
Any help most welcome.

Thanks alot

Just had a look at the 1hr from Bristol option and nothing really sprang to mind. A chum is doing a CRI (IIRC) at Andrewsfield with Carol Cooper and rates her highly. This is about a 40 mile trip from Cambridge.

DEFTS at Barkston Heath can sometimes do short notice.

You may find the popular people for CPL/IR/FI have about a 2 month wait. This has been the case for me over the past year as i have progressed through the professional tickets.

Hi VFE
Tried Bourn and they don't do the FIC course anymore.
