If one wants to become a FE (assuming they meet the requirements) you have to pay the CAA 338 quid to approve your application.
Now a few years ago when the CAA approved flight examiners on a regional "on demand" basis I could understand this charge.
However this requirement was outlawed by EASA so know if you meet the requirements then the CAA can't really reject your application.
Why not let the ATo where you do the FE course check you meet all the requirements (which they do anyway).
So scrap the current CAA approval/involvement of course i am more then happy to be corrected here.
