Just for interest, could you let us know exactly what you got for your 2 years studying? Is it the full EASA Cat A Licence, in your hand, or is it a bit short of that, with perhaps some work experience or Practical training still to be accomplished before the CAA will consider your application?
Was the course part of a BTEC, or City & Guilds, or whatever? Was there any FE or HE funding for it, Or did you pay the whole tuition fee yourself? Were you offered any work experience ("OJT") during the course?
Which College were you with?
I would greatly appreciate all this information as I am looking at the way the system works, or doesn't work as the case may be. A PM would be fine if you prefer not to be too public. I'll keep it confidential, of course.
I can't promise any effective assistance with finding a job, but I can try.
