Thanks for the link.

However, the customer service desk at the City and Guilds are as much use a a chocolate fireguard. I spent a graet deal of time on Friday pm on the phone to them. First of all dspite me quoting the course number they were totally unawrae of it, then they could not tell me of any colleges that do the course or if it was available by correspondance. They told me that they would email a list of colleges they work with and then I could phone each of them to see if the course was available. I phone 2 colleges recommended by the post code search and they no longer offer the course. Hence my post.

What do you actually want to study?

- Management, specific to aerospace?

- Engineering - for example the design and analysis of aircraft designs?

- Aeronautical Science, which would be similar to Engineering but not necessarily containing the strict minimum content set down by various engineering governing bodies?

- How to fly?

- Systems engineering - for example the design and analysis of aircraft control systems, ATC electronic systems?


And for that matter, where are you starting? Are you a graduate?, if so is it in a mathematical / scientific subject?


All of these are quite critical in being able to answer your questions.
