Service Instructor Qualifications

Fellow instructors......

just trying to get to the bottom of a little discussion at work......wondering if you may be able to help....

We are often told that our Central Flying School A2 Qualified Flying Instructor Category is the only civilian recognised qualification that we can get.

With an element of research, it only appears that for it, you gain a full exemption for FI(A) single pilot, single engine. All the other quals, B1 and B2, only alter the conditions of gaining the FI qual. So in a sense they are all recognised.

My question is, for employability reasons, how are military qualifications viewed in the civilian sector? Is an A2 actually necessary or is a certain level not important?

Many thanks
