Yes.
Our Basic Training Courses, Basic Examinations and Type Training Courses are approved by EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) and ANAC (Portuguese Civil Aviation Authority), ensuring recognition throughout all countries operating under EASA regulations.
In addition, LAS Training is a DGERT-certified training provider for specialised continuing professional development courses.
The main difference lies in the training pathway and the amount of practical experience required to obtain an EASA Part-66 Licence.
A Basic Training Course includes approved theoretical and practical training, whereas Self-Proposed Basic Examinations are based on independent study. Candidates may also attend a modular examination preparation course, although this training is not delivered under EASA Part-147 approval.
Because it includes structured and supervised practical training that is recognised by the relevant aviation authorities.
Yes.
For Basic Training Courses and Type Training Courses, the final certificate is issued only after successfully completing all training components:
-
Theoretical training: minimum score of 75% in all examinations.
-
Practical training: assessment result of "Satisfactory".
The final certificate is issued only upon successful completion of the entire training programme at LAS Training.
For Self-Proposed Basic Examinations, a certificate is issued for each successfully completed examination (minimum score of 75%).
For all other courses, certificates are issued upon attendance and, where applicable, successful completion.

No.
The EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence is issued by the Portuguese Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) following an application by the candidate.
To obtain the licence, applicants must submit:
-
The Basic Training Certificate of Recognition.
-
Evidence of the required practical experience gained within an EASA Part-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation, in accordance with the applicable licence category or subcategory requirements.
-
-
Complete Basic Training Course: Requires less practical maintenance experience (typically 1–2 years, depending on the licence category or subcategory).
-
Self-Proposed Basic Examinations (with or without training): Require 3–5 years of practical maintenance experience, depending on the licence category or subcategory.
-
Practical Training takes place during the Basic Training Course or Type Training Course within an EASA Part-147 Approved Maintenance Training Organisation.
On-the-Job Training (OJT) is completed within an EASA Part-145 Approved Maintenance Organisation, in a real maintenance environment.
OJT is required for the first type endorsement of an aircraft or engine on a specific Part-66 licence category or subcategory, representing an additional requirement for licence extension.
No.
Depending on the licence category or subcategory, an approved Basic Training Course reduces the required practical experience but does not eliminate it.
Candidates completing approved training require fewer years of experience than self-proposed candidates.
No.
Training associated with Self-Proposed Basic Examinations, even when it includes both theoretical and practical elements, is not recognised as approved EASA Part-147 Basic Training.
Consequently, it does not reduce the practical experience required for the issue of an EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence. Candidates must complete the full practical experience period applicable to self-proposed applicants.
Yes.
Regardless of the training pathway chosen, candidates must demonstrate relevant aircraft maintenance practical experience in order to obtain an EASA Part-66 Licence.
Recognition of qualifications is determined by the competent aviation authority in each country.
At present, Portugal does not grant direct credit between university degrees and EASA Part-66 Basic Training.
