The CAA is currently in a bit of a quandary regarding what to do about RTF Examiners and the whole testing procedure. The software contract has terminated, though I gather it still limps on on a month by month basis. There is no source of commercial test equipment though there is nothing to prevent you making a bespoke setup, the specification is in Standards Doc 2 and 4 though the CAA seems to have lost Stds Doc 2.
The CAA did issue a notice saying that until their review was completed, (this was 2 years ago) they would not be accepting new applications. unless it could be established that there were no existing examiners within a reasonable distance.
What most people fail to realise is that there is more money to be made training candidates to the required standard for a FRTOL than in conducting tests and you do not need any form of approval to do it. (6 candidates on a 16 hour course at say £100 each = £300/day)
