I've just had my RTF Examiner Authorisation revalidated. Cost me £236 for another 3 years (and a month, curiously). I sincerely hope that they don't pull the rug from under me (at least until I've got my money back!) I'm not being helped by the CAA failing to include my name in the latest list of authorised examiners. I've been assured this oversight will be rectified, but nothing has changed so far. The latest list is dated 15 June 2015 (V.11) and seems VERY light on names, generally.
I'm aware of at least one person who has been waiting for about a year for the inspection to take place so he can be Authorised. I think the issue is a lack of inspectors.
