Bring back NVQ!!!! Its greatly helped the flying training industry out of the last recession.

The revenue pulled it last time because they said that not enough pilots qualified.

errr hello.............that may because it only ran for a few years and the last hurdle was being assessed on a line sector by a fully accredited assessor after "at least 6 months of professionally flying turbine powered aircraft".

Well it took me at least 5 years to get that far and by then the qualification was no longer available.............

Would have given me a degree equivalent qualification for what it was worth
