The insinuation that there are people here who don't value their abilities and profession borders on farcical. And the analogies used are pointless. Do you really need it explained to you that an electrician's job involves changing fuses, yet as an ATCO you are licenced to perform your duties at your place of work (try heading down to your nearest uncontrolled airfield and start trying to exercise your abilities as a controller)
When an ATCO trains somebody on the job, they are paid for it (not very well, but that's another story). The ATCO must undergo a course to become an OJTI, and there are strict guidelines that must be followed in undertaking these duties, and should they not be up to scratch, steps are taken. Being an ATCO, you should know all this.
What you seem to be suggesting is imparting whatever knowledge you claim to have, for a fee. Regualtion issues? Conflict of interest issues? Who says the information you're going to impart is correct? The poor individual who has forked over the money won't really know will they, just that they weren't successful in their application.
Also, and this is a question I have asked you twice in a PM, but you have ignored. What if a person presented themselves to your business that obviously wasn't suited to the job, but still wanted to apply? Would you suggest they didn't? Or would you take their money and do everything to help them towards getting through the assessment, knowing full well their chances were slim to none?
