Thanks guys, i got the general idea that qualifications might not strictly necessary, but can only bring advantages, especially during the training course. My aim at the moment is working as a FI, but i`m not ruling out working for an airliner, and i want to maximize my chances, and if it means getting those A levels then that`s what i`ll do. My biggest obstacle was the financial side, i`m not too worried about the studying as i have good learning abilities. I`m not saying that the training will be a walk in the park just that, with enough commitment, it can be done.
