Good afternoon, everyone!

Long story short, I've been working on my CFI-A, on and off, for about four years, and would like to find a school where I can get it done in an accelerated time frame (1-2 weeks at most). I haven't flown much over the last couple years -- just eight hours last year -- so I imagine that I'll probably need at least 20 hours in the airplane. However, I have consistently been going through and practicing teaching the required materials, so I am confident in my knowledge and teaching ability. Additionally, I've got my AGI, spin endorsement, and FIA written completed, as well as quite a bit of right-seat time in the 172S/172RG/Arrow II.

I tried American Flyers in NJ, but after spending $2,500 to fly with a brand-new CFI, and having their RG go down for maintenance pretty much every week, I decided to cut my losses. With that said, while I would prefer to do this somewhere in the Northeast -- NY/NJ, PA, CT, etc. -- I would go to FL, AZ, TX, or CA in the interest of getting it done quickly. I've done quite a bit of research about schools in those places, but after my experience with AF, I'm very weary of spending even more money and not getting it done.

Therefore, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations and/or experience with schools that might be able to accommodate this type of training?

Thanks in advance!
