You may attend module examinations without any course being attended before. We suggest you call Part-147 training organization – you’ve chosen for examination – and ask them for study material. They should provide it.

Part-147/66 regulations allow you to take the M7 (MC) and M7 (essay) exams in different training organizations. In practice, some CAAs accept this and some do not. Therefore, it is recommended to ask the CAA you will apply to in advance whether they accept this option.

Frequently Asked Questions
about EASA PART 66 licence

EASA does not accept conversions from other license types (FAA, TCCA, GCAA, ECAA, etc.). Therefore, even if you hold an FAA license, you will need to pass all EASA exams (for B1 or B2 categories) and, together with your 5-year logbook, apply for an EASA license.

This decision is mostly under the CAA – where you apply for your license – discretion.

Each individual’s entry conditions are by CAA in evaluated case-by-case. CAA may or may not accept individual’s working experiences gained outside Part-145 approved maintenance organization.

Current status is that most CAAs accept 4 years of gained experience in any maintenance organization (outside or inside Europe), but 1 year of experience must be gained in EASA approved Part-145 Maintenance organization, located either inside or outside Europe.

This regulation came into force on Jun. 12th, 2024.

As long as your exams were taken and passed in EASA-approved Part-147 training organizations (located within or outside the EU), these certificates of recognition are mutually accepted by any CAA within the European Union.

EASA training and examination program(s) at Suntech aviation for obtaining an EASA aircraft maintenance licence are self-standing, which means you don’t need prior technical education to become an aircraft licensed engineer. Candidates with both technical and non-technical backgrounds can attend EASA program(s) and become licensed aircraft engineers.

SUNTECH is an EASA-approved training organization, and no training organization can perform OJT. On-the-Job Training (OJT) for the first aircraft type to be endorsed in your basic (B1 or B2) licence can be performed only in a maintenance organization (EASA Part-145 approved) that also has an approved OJT program. Therefore, a maintenance organization cannot organize OJT unless it is specifically approved to do so.

Maintenance experience—which must be recorded in the maintenance logbook—can be gained only in maintenance organizations. These maintenance organizations may be EASA-approved or approved by other competent authorities (UK, India, USA, etc.). SUNTECH is a training organization, not a maintenance organization.

On request, SUNTECH can supports you with the EASA application process. We do it  in all phases—from the initial evaluation of your licence documentation until the day your licence is issued. The process is not exactly the same for every applicant, because applicants may have different entry documents and backgrounds.

To obtain the EASA aircraft maintenance licence, you must fulfill the following:
• Attend and pass all licence category (B1 or B2) exams in any EASA Part-147 approved training organization. You can choose different EASA programs to complete all exams.
• Collect the required maintenance experience period (from 2 to 5 years—the duration depends on the program you choose).
• Complete the application form (EASA Form 19).

EASA does not accept credits from universities. However, the CAA you intend to apply to may grant credit for some modules (M1, M2, M3, M8). This depends on the CAA. Some CAAs do not consider this option, while others do. In any case, if the CAA grants any module credit, you must provide a credit report for that module showing that the syllabus of the school you are claiming credit for is at the same level as the syllabus in EASA Part-66 Appendix I.

You can complete your type course even before your basic licence is issued. You can endorse this type in your EASA licence if the first day of the theoretical part of the course was not more than three years ago, counted from the day of the endorsement application.
