Re: FOUNDATION EQUIVALENT LICENCE FOR AIR CADETS

 

Hi All,
??????????? firstly many thanks to all who came along on Monday to help with the Ant Mods.? The session was not completed (partly due to a passing thunderstorm that stopped play for a couple of hours).? This means that we need another session to complete the work.? Watch this space.

I have read the press release about the new Foundation Equivalent Exam offered by the ATC.

This has some interesting implications on the existing structure of the Foundation Exam as i see it.

I have not compared the Sylibus and i have no knowlege of their examintion requirements, but i should be expecting the following from the RSGB;

1.? It should not be necessary to provide 3 full licensed persons as invigulators for future Foundation Exams.
2.? The same offer of 1 years free membership should be extended to all new license holders.

These are my own personal feelings but if there is enough interest among our membership, i will pass them on to the DRM as an official observation (and request) from MYARS.
