As I understand it NVQ was available up to the end of last tax year. Any flying training up to that point was VALID for NVQ.
Any money paid before and used after the end of the last tax year is NOT VALID for NVQ and according to a Revenue statement (issued some months ago) will require this to be refunded.
I did remember reading a copy of this statement...
I'm currently looking for a copy of this to show you it is not rumour but fact.
