Somebody more up-to-date is bound to reply.. but just in case not, I believe an A/G operator requires no qualifications and training would probably involve sitting with one of A/G ops until they are happy for you to work alone
Aa-argh!
Not quite - you are required to obtain a certificate to operate VHF radio prior to even operating at a unit under training. Look for CAP452 and CAP413 on the CAA publications website - and also for the list of approved examiners. PM me if you need further help.
