Very few students qualify within 45 hours as it depends on their ability, the weather and other factors.
In fact the 45 hours minimum is prior to skills test and typically the test takes getting on for 2 hours.
I agree and not trying to be agrumentative, but if we take the test into account that's 47 hours achievable. There's a lot to learn, experience and appreciate in that time. Totally off toptic but to think you can hit the north Sea circa 200 hours...
