What was the point of your question? This topic explains very clearly what the flying training will be and who will be able to carry it out. Which bit do you want clarifying?

ALL students will be able to undertake 10 hours instructional flying per year. It will be on a syllabus that will closely mirror the NPPL, and students will still have to do the old (and already accredited) Crit Point system. The instruction will be done by current QFIs or AEF pilots who have previously held a QFI category and who will (after a period of training) be given a C to I on the UAS/Tutor syllabus.

All of this is explained above.

With regard to recruiting and entry standards - all students will still have to get an RAF MES - this is a minimum requirement to enable a student to participate in AT and sports etc. The MES will be the same as that required by the old "ground branch" members of the UASs. This is higher than that required for an NPPL but not as high a standard as the RAF Pilot entry requirements.

I will refrain from commenting on Lord Tim's "training standards" as it is probably too early to comment.
