Location isn't terribly important, I'm presently near Northampton but anywhere within a 2 or so hour drive is reasonable.

Did mine with Tony Glover at Stapleford.

Have done other stuff with CFT @ Tatenhill - Craig & the boys know their stuff!

Unfortunately Stapleford can't offer the FE course under EASE. I asked Tony last week.

BCFT in Bournemouth can do it for you. I'd imagine Thruxton can also do it.

Have you got your letter from the CAA saying you can do it?

Once you have then I would recommend On Track.

Indeed, letter of authorisation in hand. A lot of recommendations for central flight training and on track, I'll see what their availability etc is like and go from there.

Thanks ladies and gents.

According to Standards Doc 31, very few ATOs offer the PPL Examiner Standardisation Course. For the FIEs who once enjoyed the privilege, it is no longer financially viable to obtain an approval to continue.
