After HarryC posted his info including the BMFA resource, I went to the site to see how the UK certifies turbine pilots. In the past I've also visited the MAAC site to see how Canada does it.
Check out the Basic "B" class training syllabus below, called the "Radio Control Achievement Scheme." It is a little more thorough than your average club's training program here in the states. The picture is of the first page, the link to the full PDF is here:

How many non-UK turbine pilots could complete the Gas Turbine Achievement Test in the chart below? It is found in a pretty comprehensive document here:

For more in-depth reading, in preparation for a new flying season and to gain more perspective as a safe pilot, check out the BMFA "Code of Practice for Operation of Gas Turbine Model Aircraft:"

My goal, to push my flying to a level defined internationally, is to be able to fly the BFMA "C Certificate (Gas Turbine) Checklist" in one flight, with a smooth flow from one maneuver to the next. Anyone else up to the challenge?
How about a link to a video of this being done in less than 10 minutes?
