Flight training

Hi folks, Concerned Mum here.

Thank you so much for all the help and advice you gave to my husband. As a result, my son is now ensconced at another flight school where he passed his MEP after only one hour's orientation and is now working on his IR. He also sends his thanks.

My son's experience has thrown up a couple of questions I'd appreciate advice on if any of you have the time to respond. Are flight schools regulated and, if so, by whom? Also, how often are flight instructors' training abilities tested? Finally, are flight training schools required to meet a minimum standard of education? If they are I'd be grateful if you could let me know the name of their version of 'Ofsted'.

I look forward to hearing from you.
