What Heston & Whopity said. I think some of the confusion is because historically the possession of a FRTOL used to allow people to operate an airfield A/G station - and in fact many were 'grandfathered' across.
However these days you need a 1 hour written and 1 hour practical exam just to get the A/G certificate, which then has to be countersigned by the airfield's radio licence holder.
