Maintaining Approved Examination Center

The  Civil Aviation Authority in my country, approved Ground Schools to conduct training preparing for B1 and B2 licenses. The approval is given under the authority of AN1201 issued on 1 Apr 2011.

An approved training school may apply for another supplementary approval under appendix 4, known as AIRWORTHINESS NOTICE No. 1201 Appendix 4 Issue 1 for " EXAMINATION ON BEHALF OF DGCA"

Some of the issues involved in maintaining the part 147 and its approved Exam Centers includes:

Related to 147 approval
1. Skill related training and assessment.
The areas related to the skill training is more complex and less developed for most organisation. The reasons are likely to be due to its historical factors. Prior to EASA license, my school was involved with the BCAR Section L licensing. Under BCAR, the training was focused on the Knowledge component and the Skills component was conducted by a maintenance organisation. The license examination covers both the knowledge and skill component.

The issues include
a. Log Book
b. Task Sheet
c. The Assessment

2. Knowledge related component.
a. relate to the width and the depth of the knowledge
b. Questions for the approved questions
