Any guesses as to the reason for this decline?
Sorry, no. However, I would like to point out that this decline started way before the EASA debate was even hinted at.
I work at a large school in North-West London and at the moment we've only one student actively studying for the IMCr. At the moment, I'm not qualified to teach it and I'm wondering if it's going to be worth my while getting the additional qualification if I'm not going to be able to put it in to practice. Thus the downward spiral is self-sustaining...
