As you say, a difficult decision - which apparently you expect the ITOs to make much earlier in the training process, when there may be a suspicion but little hard evidence. I suggest that the responsibility lies with the employer and its selection process - in the case of NATS, they make a big enough meal of it.
We thought that you were! :-) It's not the NATS training system - it's the European plus UK specified content for the rating course, whichever approved ITO provides it.

Very well put. Incidentally, NATS Training do currently train for APS, specifically for Swanwick, & also train UK specified content courses when needed. ADI will also be restarting soon, once the electronic data system is ready.
