In response to SpudMurph, the overriding qualification requirement at inception is the ability to produce income. The quote that you have used in your piece is self-promoting garbage from the AES publicity machine.

Also, seeing that Military Officers / Captains are supposed to lead from the front then I wonder what qualifications are held by Instone / Viney et al - can they come on here and clarify. If they are not, at least, working toward QCF level 4 then doesnt that send out the wrong message to the 'troops'.

It is remarkable what you can achieve through your connections rather than ability isnt it........

Expat Oracle

No matter how many favourable articles and sound bites you can get the press to write about you. Reputation is earned and not given. AES has a long way to go before it meets that criteria.


I find the comment "Wherever they are in the world, advisers must comply with British regulatory and qualifications requirements" rather odd.

So, why is it that the AES offshore advisers are not all Level 4 qualified? Some of them are well short of the British qualifications requirements. Some having nothing more than the now defunct FPC or the lowest level CII qualification, the CII ( Award ).

What are the real minimum entry qualification requirements?


A good story. We need to manufacture Spitfires to save the British Economy and British workforce , and to rescue the British Economy from a lost decade. Revive manufacturing. Still a great personal story for the guy , who achieved so much from so little.
