ATPL Ground school qualifications
This may sound like an odd question but:
I have read that the ATPLs USED to be classed as an NVQ.
Are the ATPL exams now classed as anything else when they are complete?
Thanks for the info

Hi NotTelling,
In days gone by (late 90's) there used to be an NVQ qualification but only 1 person every obtained all of the necessary signatures etc to obtain the NVQ (you needed airline experience for the qualification iirc). It was a Level 4 NVQ.
I have the NVQ Folder at home with all of the requirements, sign off sheets etc as I enrolled on the afformentioned NVQ.
This used to also give a tax saving of 23%(?) from any flight training and hours building towards a commercial career in Aviation. However the Government found that quite a few people were abusing this tax saving to gain PPL's and stop their training at that level without any intention of going commercial so revoked the 23% saving on flight training.
I obtained my PPL using the tax relief that was available to us seven years ago.
Sadly there isn't anything around that recognise JAR-FCL ATPLs as qualifications in their own right. Some Universities use the JAR-FCL ATPL exams and course as one of their yearly modules on their Degree schemes I seem to remember reading somewhere on here.
Best wishes,
Charlie Zulu.
