Is there any indication of what extra costs an ATO will have to pay out in order to do IT training?
There is no difference in the approval fees charged for an ATO as opposed to an FTO. For the modular IR, the proposed initial approval fee for 2012/2013 is £1294 per module (BIFM & PIFM) with an extra £647 if the course is to include synthetic flight training. The current fee for initial approval of the 'old' modular IR course is £1269 (+£634 for the addition of synthetic flight training) so splitting the course into 2 modules appears to result in the initial approval fee more than doubling. This does not, of course, include the fee for qualifying the FSTD (£7431 for initial qualification of an FNPT II).
Proposed annual re-approval fees are £1156 per module and £1676 for renewal of the FNPT II qualification.
