I got the rating the same way that I got all of my other ratings(ASMEL, ASES, Commercial, IFR), by scheduling 1 hour per day 3 days per week. This is the same as a 3 credit hour class at the local college. Considering that it takes 40, 3 credit hour classes to get a B.S, degree, I don't think that it is really to tough to invest in the time it takes for 1 class to get a complete Instrument rating. In the end, you will have the rating and 3 months worth of experience. Now don't think that in any I am suggesting this, but I do know for a fact that some filed IFR flight plans are make by pilots that can fly IFR but do not yet have their rating. This may not be legal, but unless you know the area that you are flying in very well, it is safer than scud running. -- Lorn H.
