Hello Novicf
As LHRT has said you can be C&T without a FI. There was a NRPM proposal a few years ago that would have made all training, whatever it was, under a Flight Instrutor (FI) rating and the various types of training then branching out with FI's having a qualification in that type of training. I have not heard anything about this proposal for some time now and it may be dead.
Training covers a lot of things done in aviation. There is
1. Training in relation to getting a licence or rating, usually with an approved syllabus.
This is for a person who walks in and is usually a customer. Must have an FI with appropriate endorsment.
2. Training in relation to your employment, some of which is syllabus stuff and some which is company required.
For company employess and coverd by ops manual or similar. can be done under both CASA and company specific approvals. Many supervisory (training) Captains are company approved only.
3. Training in a skill not covered by the above. Done by people with CASA or recognised qualifications, not nessecarily a commercial pilot or FI. Many PPL holders have approvals to train in some of the more unusual fields of aviation.
Ie Low Level Aeros, Glider towing, etc.
Definitions,
Syllabus - Formal training covered by the regs
CAR 217 - In company (house) training organisation, approved by CASA.
Approval - CASA or other body approved training person.
