good one
Verticalspeed,
The external assessor or a company captain idea has always been floated by students. Whenever a company captain visited the school, things would be swept under the carpet. Stuff would surface when the guy is far away to do any good.
I think the "PPRuNe test" is also a brilliant idea. That way the committment to teach is there from the word go since selection is done by the institution. No need for a 'selection' after enrollment. It would also be hypocritical washing the person you recommend.
