I believe you may also use an IGI (instrument ground instructor) in a

Not true. I'm both IGI and CFII. Currency or other required training, if
done in a sim, requires the CFII endorsement. IGI won't do it.


An IGI MAY provide the training and sign off the requirements of
currency for 61.57 (c) in a simulator or approved training device. He
may not, however, sign off an IPC, although he may provide the
training required for an IPC. Sim and training device training is
considered ground training. FAR 61.215 (c)
