can I undertake glider towing training for aspiring tug pilots outside of an ATO

No, all training for an EASA rating must be conducted at an ATO. IN 2012/112 para 2.1

That'll be interesting for gliding clubs to implement, I'm not aware (but stand to be corrected) of any gliding clubs that are set up to conduct tug pilot training as an ATO.

Especially as they were well represented on the EASA committee! I think they were under the naive impression that the BGA would be the ATO and provide umbrella cover for all the gliding schools. I gather that is not the CAAs view.
