Hi everyone!
As a aeronautical met-forecaster in ROMATSA I am directly interested in the topic that Paul presented. So, to me it is a good idea to have a tool that quantifies competence. It is not a bad ideea to have a unique-european standard to get to.
And I think it is a great idea to introduce in our training EUMETCAL and COMET tools and methods. Some of them could be easily adapted to our needs and as you said, it could be extremely useful.
As about the traceability that you mentioned it I think there is not a problem as long we have lots of exams every two years! You only have to acces database of AACR!
