Accelerated Training for Advanced Ratings

I used private pilot training as an example in previous posts, but what about advanced ratings such as an instrument rating, a multi engine rating, etc.?

All of the same principles apply here too.

I would add however that if you are going for some kind of an advanced pilot rating, you already have some basis and reference from previous training experiences, so you already know that regardless of which flying school you ultimately choose, there is a partnership dynamic at work here where hopefully, if both parties are equally committed to the end goal, there is little else which can prevent you from achieving your objective on time and within budget.

In other words, assuming you have chosen a good flight school; you will get out of it what you put into it.

There is no pilot training magic wand. You have to do the stuff and your flight school / flight instructor is simply there to facilitate the whole process, provide the syllabus, the equipment and some guidance along the way. No study, no rating. Right?
