Something similar happened to me too! However in the end they put me through to Adrian Chorley, so I managed to have a chat with him about this deviation thing. I know about the criteria now, but I am still not sure what sort of Medical they eventually issue

I did ask OAT and they have had students who started in that situation. I was told these chaps started with a Class 1 Medical which had "a note attached", saying "the student will obtain a full Class 1 upon renewal".
However I am planning to also try n have a chat with FTE and CCAT.. possibily at the next Prof Flight Training Show if I manage to get a minute at their respective "stalls".
