I disagree.

EASA is moving to some form of FTE and TP licencing, but everything indicates that FTE licencing (and particularly this new concept of a "lead FTE" - an FTE authorised to operate controls in flight, will be built upon company in-house training and approvals, not external EASA licencing.

Not to say that UKTPS isn't a good organisation who provides valuable training, but they are basically providing it for existing staff of large aerospace companies, not private individuals.
