Part-147 Facilities
• Examination Manager:
Depending on the size and scope of the approval, the organisation may
appoint a manager with direct responsibility for the examination function.
• Examiners/Assessors:
An organisation may or may not have an Examination Manager but all
organisations must nominate a person as an Examiner.
The function of the Examiner will vary and is dependent upon the type of
training organisation (basic or type) and the type of exam system in use.
Usually the Instructors and knowledge specialists prepare the
examination questions, leaving the examiner to produce and mark the
examination paper.
Assessment of the examination results can be carried out by a
combination of the Training Manager / Instructor / Examiner.
• Support Staff:
These personnel may take many forms such as administrative staff,
dedicated invigilators, canteen staff, cleaners etc.
The record may be kept in any format but should be under the
control of the organisations quality system.
Training Manuals - Training manuals must cover the full subject area and
to the correct level in accordance with the appropriate Part-66 syllabus.
The manual may be in hard copy or electronic format but must be
consistent with the methodology used to deliver the training.
These procedures must be clear and unambiguous and include any work
instructions, flow diagram's etc.
