It would never happen but the way to get change would be to to get a CAA Ops inspector to do a full type rating course including having to do all this crap. Then they might wake up to how corrosive the creep of CBT has become. It really isn't appropriate to expect pilots to do ladder climbing and box lifting H&S modules in the middle of aircraft tech.
Is this not the operators using the ground school phase of the TRs as a vehicle to perform the BS elements that all (most) staff have to do? H&S, ethics, anti corruption etc...None of which have any relevance to a TR and none of which are part of any TR CBTs prepared by any of the independent CBT providers!
