It would make a lot more sense to locate an exam centre in N England. At the moment the closest to "The North" is Silsoe, which can be a 3 hour drive.
If the CAA is serious about the exams being a national institution then they need to put in place a strategy to break the Southern stranglehold, both on centres and on training.
It discriminates against the North because our travel and accom. costs are higher for the whole course.
