Hi Peeps.
I've done a search for this but I can't find anything so can anyone help me?
I'm looking to do my RT Oral exam as soon as possible. The two contacts that I have are not going to be available in the time that I need so can anyone recommend someone in the Redhill/Surrey area to me?
I realise that this may advertising, so maybe you could email me with your suggestions or whatever.
Also, how much does the exam cost? I've heard prices ranging from £40.00 to £100.00.
Cheers, a drenched and grounded Senndog!
There is a list of examiners on the CAA website - have you looked at that?

Well, the nearest that I can get is this page.....
http://www.caa.co.uk/dap/radio_licensing/default.asp
which doesn't tell me much and I've been holding for half an hour on the CAA's wonderful telephone system.
Any other ideas?
But of course.... :D

(OK, it's not on the CAA website, but the CAA link to it... :p :) )
It's a .pdf, so you need Adobe's Acrobat Reader....
The best place to start looking for information is:
http://www.caa.co.uk/srg/licensing/fcl/document.asp
...or catch a train into London and do it at Guildhall University, by Tower Bridge. Can't remember how much.

I paid £40 to do it at Coventry (better not say who with, in case it's advertising). You should be able to avoid paying £100. Definitely worth travelling a bit further afield and paying less :)

What the oral R/T difficult ?
I fly from Coventry too and will be taking my exam in the tower.
