Please see the following user guides for a detailed understanding regarding the requirement to provide regulatory Initial & Recurrent training to Certifying Staff:

EASA Part 66 Module 9 & Module 10

Why Does EASA Require Approval Holders to ensure Certifying Staff can demonstrate that they have completed a course of instruction compliant with Part 66 Module 9 & 10?

» Providing 3rd Countries Certifying Staff hold an Aircraft Maintenance Engineers License (AMEL) compliant with ICAO Annex 1 other than training in Part 66 Mod 9 & Mod 10, there is no requirement to meet the full obligations of EASA Part 66 Certifying Staff.
» EASA expects never the less that the 145 organisation is able to demonstrate that the certifying staff is aware of the EASA regulatory environment (Part 66 module 10) and has been trained to an acceptable standard in Human Factors (Part 66 module 9).

Sofema Online Provides Organisations with the opportunity to undertake Part 66 Module 9 & Module 10 Equivalent Training with Self-Paced online training.

In the Classroom these 2 courses together will take 8 days (3 Days for HF & 5 Days for Air Legislation) – SOL has put together an online program which complies fully with the regulatory requirements. Please see here for details
