They are valid. The only difference is that the certificate of recognition on which they appear corresponds to the EASA 148 format, while the basic examinations approved as of 12 June 2024 will appear in an EASA 148a format if they have been carried out in a Part 147 organisation, or in an EASA 148b format (if they have been carried out with the Authority).

Once the OJT is completed, when you want to incorporate the type rating in the license, the following documentation will be sent to AESA:

• The on-the-job training booklet, which shall include:
  • the name of the applicant
  • date of birth of the applicant; 
  • approved maintenance organisation(s) in which the OJT has been performed; 
  • aircraft rating and licence categories applied for; 
  • list of tasks, including the following: 
  • description of tasks; 
  • reference to the work card/work order/technical registration of the aircraft, etc.; 
  • place where the task has been completed; 
  • date on which the task is completed; 
  • aircraft registration; 
  • name of guardians (including licence number, if applicable); 
  • a signed recommendation from the guardians for the subsequent final assessment of the applicant.
• The final evaluation of the applicant by the evaluator(s).

The status of each student's transcript is indicated by coloured icons:

• GREEN = APPROVED 
• RED = NOT APPROVED 
• MAGENTA = PROVISIONAL

When the objections (observations made) may lead to a change in the exam mark (PASS/FAIL), the mark will appear as provisional (PROV.).

Please note that according to European regulations, challenges (remarks made in the exam) will be eliminated from the exam if they are found to be wrong.

For example, in a 100-question test: 

• I have got 80 questions right and I have made 3 observations, the mark will appear as "PASS" because, even if those 3 questions are cancelled, the total is much higher, that is to say, the mark to pass is still 75% but on 97 questions. In other words, I will need at least 73 correct questions.. 
   
  • The mark will be calculated by dividing the total number of correct questions that have not been invalidated by 97 and multiplying by 100. For this particular case and assuming that the three challenged questions have been answered correctly, the number of correct questions would be 77 and the total number of questions in the exam 97, giving a mark of 79.38%.  
  • Let's take another case for the previous example, now of the 3 contested questions two are correctly answered and one is wrong and 2 questions should be annulled, one of them the one that has been wrongly answered. Therefore, the exam will have a total of 98 questions, 79 of which are correct, giving us a final mark of 80.60%.
    .
• I have got 74 questions correct and made 2 observations, the mark will appear as "PROV" because if:
   
  • The two challenges are valid and these questions have been answered incorrectly. We will have a total of 98 questions of which 74 have been answered correctly, obtaining a grade of 75.51%, with the final grade being "PASS".. 
  • The two challenges are valid and one of these questions has been answered correctly and the other incorrectly. We will have a total of 98 questions of which 73 have been answered correctly, obtaining a mark of 74.48%, with the final mark being "NOT PASSED".. 
  • If one of the two challenges is correct and the other is not, if the correct challenge is answered correctly and the wrong one is answered incorrectly, we will have: 73 correct questions out of a total of 99, obtaining a mark of 73.73% and the final mark will be "FAIL".. 
  • One of the two challenges is valid and the other is not, if the valid challenge has been answered wrongly and the wrong one correctly, the following will be obtained: 74 correct questions out of a total of 99, obtaining a mark of 74.74% and the final mark will be "FAIL".. 
  • NO cancellations are made because the challenges were not successful, the final grade would be "NOT PASSED" for not reaching the minimum grade, 75%, to pass.
     
• If this is not the case, the note will appear on paper as it is.. 
• When a provisional mark becomes a final mark, THE APPLICATION AUTOMATICALLY SENTS an e-mail to the applicant's e-mail address with the following text: 

"Dear Candidate, We inform you that the theoretical exam of module XXXXXXXXXXX that you took on XX/XXXX/XXXXXX has been solved. Please access the management tool to verify the result. Yours sincerely".
