Hi everyone, I'll be finishing up commercial Single hopefully in September and I'm currently a student at ERAU, All I've done at Riddle is Instrument and starting commercial single. The Big question is do I do my CFI at Riddle or a local FBO? Just not sure cause there's pros and cons in both.
For example:

PROS- RIDDLE
-Gets you prepared for standards

-People said the course makes you ready for CFI not just a check ride

-You don't have to go with a FSDO Inspector you go with a reg check pilot

-Bottlefeld all the Info through "Orals"

-PROS- Local FBO
-Have both CFI and CFII done in about a month

-SOOO MUCH CHEAPER- 5-7K

-Better chance at getting a job as a CFI.



CONS- RIDDLE
-Cost is anywhere from 12-20K

-Takes almost 2 semesters( almost 1 year)

-No Guaranteed job nor an interview..

CONS- Local FBO
-You have to have your initial Check with an inspector FSDO..

-Training might not be as good.

-You have to study your A** off.

I'll be honest I'm just not sure what to do, The sound of an FAA inspector scares me haha. I heard do your CFII with the inspector and CFI with a reg checkairman. I've heard from people that the Airlines care about a lot where you CFI at, so if it comes down to that then yeah I'd like to instruct for them but doing the course as of now is not in my favor. When it comes to Ground work at a part 61 wouldn't they teach me all the info and help me like lesson plans, Etc... You have to also keep in mind I'm a Full time student so It would be hard for me to work as a full time CFI, Part time would better.
HELPP!!!! Not sure what to do?
