Hi Guys,
I am hoping to start my PPL soon.The problem i face is i live in Tenerife, Canary Islands.
There are 2 schools. One will do the complete course but are not flexible in their training program or financing, the other cannot do the Theory/Ground school exams etc in English. Although they can do all the practical lessons in English.
So Question is?
Is it possible to study theory etc either on-line with a UK Flying school?
or
Should i concentrate on completing all Ground school in exams with a school in UK 1st then start the practical lessons?
Also
Will the event of Brexit make this a non-starter?
Any positive angles on this would be helpful.
Thanks
Baz

I have a vague recollection of either ground exams in a different country to training course being banned by recent easa changes, OR at least it starting as a new hot future topic in committees. Anyone remember more than I can?
Brexit. Nobody knows. Many pilots not living in uk not waiting to see and transferring their uk easa licences to other countries.

There is a chap on here that instructs/examins at (runs?) a flight school in Spain... @SteveC . Im sure he can tell you more about this and maybe give you options. However, I believe he is on the mainland (Jerez) not Tenerife.
