I am currently part way through my efforts to become an examiner.
I sent off my initial application to the CAA which was approx £360 to which i then received a letter saying that i could go on the course.
The course cost £400 plus a flight so around £560 .
I have now been allocated a senior examiner, his fee £400.
On top of this there will be the aircraft costs for the test, that should if i am successful make the amount spent around £1700-1800 , i dare not think what the CAA will charge to then issue said piece of paper.
Had i have known it was going to cost this much i doubt i would have started it.
