This morning I was told that the FAA is exploring expanding the Read, write and understand the english language section in the FARs is going to be expanded to initial CFI & SP CFI candidates that a “HIGH SCHOOL” diploma or "GED" equivalent will be required for domestic applicants and foreign applicants will need to have an equivalent certificate / diploma from their native country BEFORE THEY CAN APPLY FOR THE CFI test. ......this is for now just a rumor I heard from a local boater visiting, who works within the FAA. I do not have any more details on this but from what I have been told there are some new significant changes to the instructors program that are going to be coming down the pipe, some good some not so good.... this is just one I thought might raise some interest within this group,.....for now it is just a rumor however....
