Any 'new' school in the UK will be required to be at least a non-complex ATO at least until the eventual RMTxxx 'Training outside an ATO' NPA/CRD/Decision process is completed - which will certainly take 3 years, given that no work has started yet....
The UK CAA's AltMoC is almost ready and an associated Standards Document will be released which will clarify matters further.
Incidentally, the new AMC / GM covers the 'sole trader' and is a considerable improvement over the current situation.
