These may sound like stupid questions but I'm going to ask them anyway.
I am part way through my PPL (about 40 hrs + 3 exams passed) and I was wondering about my student record and exam passes.
First of all the exams, is there something sent to the CCA each time I pass an exam and could I verify that the CCA has this ?
Second my student record, is it mine or the flying school ? if I changed school would it move with me ?

Yes and No.
Every time you do an exam, the result should be marked in your student records.
Nothing is sent to the CAA if you PASS an examination - but a form 252 should be sent, by the school, if you fail one (you should get a carbon copy of it).
When you finish off all the requirements for licence application, your school should give you a copy of the PPL Application Form (http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/FORSRG1105Iss2.pdf) (which you can print out now, from that link, if you wish).....keep your own record.
You will see, on page 2, a section where your written examination results will be recorded - this is all the CAA want.
If you move schools then your records should follow you.
Some of the schools get a bit awkward about this - politics - but do not have the right to keep them. If all requests fail then contact the CAA and they will make the school send copies on to your new training establishment.
Hope this isn't a sign that you are unhappy with your current training provider!! Flight training is hard enough without having to fight politics at the same time.
If anybody else wants to repeat the answers given - please do so on the duplicate post (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=92303) of this thread on the Private Flying forum
