I was referring to both the exams and the practical requirements. The "statistics" come from the Office of National Statistics. It is interesting to see the dramatic change in national average academic performance between the 2011 and 2021 census.

Nurse and paramedic are both 3/4 year degree level qualifications with embedded work experience. ATPL is roughly 18 months, so substantially less
