FlightSafety-it's only 1.5 hours from ORL, but nothing worth your while is in Orlando, as far as good academies go.

Try FlightSafety Academy in Vero Beach. Vero is about one hundred miles from Orlando. I instructed there several years ago. The program is expensive, but the training, facilities and equipment are first-rate. FlightSafety has excellent name recognition in the industry.

Hope that helps.

PS-NightFlight, above, beat me by a minute!

FSI without a doubt. I did my CFI there and the training is by far the best.

Does it has to be an academy? Some FBO's have excellen carreers instructor that can cram the material in the same time or less than those big academies.

Coming form a good academy does not give a better chance for getting hired AT ALL. It will certainly help u becoming a good pilot if the academy has a good program. But the companies want to see that you have the required flight time.
I went thru a big academy based in ORL and I ahve about 700tt now. I send my resume to companies looking for pilots at least twice a week. Since then one guy called me, and one guy wrote me an email. both negative answers of course.
Dont waste money in a big academy. or try to find if one of them has a cheaper sattelite base( what I did).
Hope that helps.

For most of the "academies", the only place you will have a better chance of getting hired is as a CFI with that school. I don't know of FSI has any guarantees for interviews with any regionals or not...others can tell you that better than I can. If you are dead set on an academy, from what I hear FSI is a good way to go. If you do not HAVE to go to an academy, check out Air Orlando(www.flyairorlando.com) at Orlando Executive(ORL). You could probably get all the ratings you want for close to half as much as at an academy.
