Experience requirements can vary but would be a maximum of 3 years maintenance experience on operating aircraft (certified in a record of experience log book).
Category B
The licence is issued after passing all the appropriate modules and obtaining the appropriate experience. Allows the engineer to sign the Certificate of Release to Service for the aircraft in the category for which he/she is licensed. Experience required (gained within the 10 years preceding application): B1.1 B1.2 B1.3 B1.4 B2 B3 Turbine Engined Aeroplanes Piston Engined Aeroplanes Turbine Engined Helicopters Piston Engined Helicopters Avionic Aircraft below 2,000kg mass 5 years maximum 3 years maximum 5 years maximum 3 years maximum 5 years maximum 3 years maximum
At least 1 year of the experience shall be recent experience gained on aircraft type for which application is to be made. Experience requirements stated above are based on no previous qualifying technical training or approved courses passed. If you have technical qualifications and/or passed an approved course then you may be eligible for a reduced experience requirement in this case you should apply to the CAA for details/check their website. The experience requirement is based on appropriate maintenance engineering on operating aircraft. For UK service personnel with qualifying service experience this may count for all of the experience requirement except for 1 year this will have to be gained on civil aircraft (all recorded in the log book of course).
Category C
Requires 3 years experience as a B1.1, B1.3, or B2 engineer or 5 years as a B1.2 or B1.4 engineer.
Experience Requirements
There are no experience requirements to be allowed to sit the examinations, they apply only when licence application is made. As the individual module examination passes have a life of 10 years it is important that all the exams for a particular licence are passed within 10 years of passing the first module. All the above experience requirements must include one year's recent experience and that experience must include equipment for which application is made. In other words if you are

applying for the B1.1 licence mechanical jet engined aircraft the one year recent experience must be on this type of aircraft not on helicopters for example. The experience must include a representative cross section of tasks on operating aircraft* and should include, for the mechanical person, some experience on instrument, electrical and avionic systems. Experience in maintenance bays (engine bays, instruments bays, tyre bays etc) is not considered appropriate.
* The term operating aircraft means that the aircraft must be a flying aircraft and the servicing could include ramp/first line servicing and/or hangar maintenance. The term operating aircraft does not include work on gliders and UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).
For more details you are advised to read EASA Part 66. It can be obtained from TSO at Norwich, UK or viewed on the net www.caa.co.uk/publications.

Notes
1. The first 10 modules are common (except for module 4 for the category A person). However, the exact content of each exam for a particular module will vary depending on what licence the engineer is aiming for. This means that for the A person, parts of some modules are not examined on at all and other areas are taken at a lower level than the B level. For the B person (in very general terms) the differences in the level of difficulty in those modules where there are differences are: MODULE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7A 8 9A THE HIGHER LEVEL IS THE: B B1 B1/B2 B2 B2 B1 B1 but B2 for item 7.7 B1/B2 B1/B2

B1/B2/B3
The above is not significant (assuming you take the examination to the correct level for the licence you are aiming for), unless you intend taking another licence after you have obtained the present one. For example: If you are going for the B1 and intend taking the B2 at a later date then it would be prudent to take modules 4 and 5 as a B2 examination (the higher level). If you are presently going for the B2 and plan to eventually go for the B1 then it would be wise to take modules 2, 6 and 7 at the B1 level. The levels of modules 1, 3, 8, 9A and 10 are the same for both B1 and B2 examinations. 2. Some of our modules (6 and 7A for example) we have managed to split into B1 and B2. When ordering ensure that you order the correct module. 3. For those modules we have not split into B1/B2, then they have been written to the higher level in each case. 4. The CAA examination consists of a multi-choice paper for each module and an essay paper for modules 7, 9 and 10. 5. For CAA examination purposes the modules can be taken in any order (including the essay papers), though there are too many to be taken all in one day. Unless you have a long way to travel it would be better to take the bigger modules one at a time and the smaller ones either singly or in twos or threes. 6. It is generally considered better to take the essay exam for module 7 when doing the multi choice paper for module 7, with the same principle applying for the essay papers for modules 9 and 10. Remember, in all cases there is an exam fee payable for both the essay paper and the multi choice paper. (If the essay questions are all taken together then there is one fee payable.) 7. Suggested sequence for taking the modules. Take 1 to 5 in order. Take 6 and 7 together at any time. Take 8, 9 and 10 at any time in any order. Take the trade modules last (11 to 17). 8. There are almost no exemptions allowed against any of the module examinations. Certain degrees will attract exemptions to some modules for details contact the CAA. Remember. The modules, once passed, have a life of 10 years so if you do not complete all the modules in 10 years you will start to loose the first modules passed. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age.
