okie dokie here goes, anyone can answer just think this might be brads area of expertese
i have decided to take a huge leap and attempt to get the CFI rating, i have read a few places in the states will train you up and then where possible employ you till your Visa expires. just how difficult is it to get that far. it's gonna cost me about £8000 in the states which is over half the cost of here, and its just to good of an opportunity to pass up. so brad look out i believe your school offers that sort of option and i might be heading your way, perhaps a nice long holiday is a good idea .
but seriously am i flushing £8000 down the drain for nothing or is it a good move? also just how long will it take to complete the whole lot as i dont want to do this it takes me 12 months to complete and i have barely enough time to make up what i spent .
cheers guys

thanks for the response. i have asked up at the FBO in bristol where i have taken a few lessons already, the best they told me was it would require me to take a few exams and a few lessons to convert them, i have a feeling they wernt taking it to seriously because of my age and because my lessons were a while in between. my best hope is that when i move to the states, if i pass and get the job, that after the visa runs out i can find a way to extend it. because i havent gotten the money yet i havent looked into the visa side of it fully only enough to know what it requires to sort out, theres little point in going through the application and fee's to only find the money for whatever reason becomes unavaliable.
and i know what you mean by confusing:)
thanks again
Craig

yeah the us version:)
