In the UK, all commercial flight training is carried out under the syllabus laid down by the Joint Aviation Authourity (JAA), and this is overseen by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA),
Regardless of whether students follow an intergrated course or a modular course, in the end they all have to pass exactly the same ground exams & flight tests. And, these are certainly not easy.
In your first post, you seem to imply that Flight Training Organisations (FTOs) and/or their students are at fault in pursuing modular courses, because YOU consider only intergrated courses, can produce pilots of the standard that YOU consider acceptable.
If this is so, may I suggest that you should be voiceing your views to the JAA and/or CAA,. They are the only authorities that can change the system, and outlaw modular training.....
......that is, of course, if they agree with your opinions.
