What would you suggest for an individual who feels called to the Ministry but finds no recourse as far as synodical education is concerned?

GJ - I think people will revert to the colonial days, when students trained by living in a parsonage. It was called The School of the Prophets. The pastor trained the future minister, who often spirited away a parsonage daughter as his bride.
I would not send anyone to the current "conservative" seminaries, because they train people in Enthusiasm, Roman, Eastern Orthodoxy, Fuller-Willow Creekism, or worse.

That method sounds much more favorable (and more hands-on) than the current "waste 8 years of your life" approach. I suppose that's the intent behind the Vicar year, but still.
Nonetheless, longing for the ways of days gone by does not help a student currently compelled by the Spirit.

GJ - Anything is possible today. I have told more than one, "You do not need your apostate synod to decide your future. There are many solutions."
