Can you choose an examiner and train/prepare as necessary, or do you have to go through an ATO and a CAA designated examiner selection thing?
Thanks

Under EASA you could choose your examiner.
Under UK CAA you have never had that privilege, even when you were in EASA, although it's well known that you can game the system. It's CAA staff examiners (at considerable cost) or nothing. A few people used to deliberately organise their EASA I-IRTs outside of the UK for just that reason.
The training can be whatever you choose it to be on the other hand.
