Introduction

We believe examiners should have a chance to mix with their colleagues and be able to discuss issues of mutual interest as well as being brought up to date with the latest information from EASA and the Danish CAA [Trafikstyrelsen]

Our course is designed to be a forum where examiners of all ages and types can express their views and exchange ideas without fear of any retribution. So by the end of the course you will be more knowledgeable and better informed so you can do your job more effectively

• EASA Licence
  • please keep your licence pages together inside your licence cover
• ICAO licence and FCL.900(c) if examining under an FCL.1000(c) privileges
  • please keep your licence pages together inside your licence cover
    
• Examiner / FCL.1000(c) certificate(s)  
  • these are normally located in your licence or maybe on a separate certificate

Please bring the items requested above as we have a duty of care to check your licence(s) and examiner certificate(s). We might save you some embarrassment

On completion of the course (seminar) you shall be issued with a Certificate of Attendance

The Danish CAA [Trafikstyrelsen] Senior Examiner will not be able to renew or revalidate your examiner certificate at the end of the course (seminar). This will have to be done by your NAA once you have completed all the revalidation or renewal requirements

Revalidation

(a) Conduct six skill test/proficiency check/assessments of competence within the validity of the examiner certificate (see note)

(b) Conduct one test in the final year as an observed test with a senior examiner of the Danish CAA [Trafikstyrelsen] or your NAA if different (see note)

(c) Attend a Danish CAA [Trafikstyrelsen] examiner refresher course (seminar) in the final year of validity of the examiner certificate

Note: When an examiner holds more than one examiner certificate, combined revalidation of all examiner privileges may be achieved when the applicant complies with the requirements of (a), (b) and (c). However, the Danish CAA [Trafikstyrelsen] requires the Danish CAA [Trafikstyrelsen] examiner to have conducted 6 tests/checks/assessments per examiner privilege held (e.g. 6 as a TRE, 6 as a CRE, etc). If this requirement is not met, the examiner privilege will be removed, unless the observed test is performed for that specific privilege

Renewal

(a) Complete a skill test / proficiency check / assessment of competence as an observed or dummy test with a senior examiner of the Danish CAA [Trafikstyrelsen] or your NAA if different (see note)

(b) Attend a Danish CAA [Trafikstyrelsen] examiner refresher course (seminar)
