Yes.
Our Basic Training Courses, Basic Examinations and Aircraft Type Training Courses are delivered within the applicable EASA and ANAC approval framework, supporting recognition in countries operating under the EASA regulatory framework.
In addition, LAS Training is a DGERT-certified training provider for specific continuing training courses.
The main difference lies in the training pathway and the amount of practical maintenance experience required to obtain an EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML).
A Complete Basic Training Course includes approved theoretical and practical training, whereas the independent examination route is primarily based on self-study. Candidates may also attend examination preparation training; however, this training is delivered outside the scope of Part-147 Basic Training approval.
Because it includes structured and supervised practical training completed as part of an approved Basic Training Course and recognised within the applicable regulatory framework.
Yes.
For Basic Training and Aircraft Type Training Courses, the final certificate is issued subject to successful completion of all applicable training components:
-
Theoretical component: a minimum score of 75% in all examinations;
-
Practical component: a satisfactory assessment result.
The final certificate is issued upon successful completion of the entire applicable training programme at LAS Training.
For Basic Examinations taken by independent candidates, a certificate is issued for each successfully completed examination, subject to a minimum score of 75%.
For other courses, certificates are issued following attendance and, where applicable, successful completion of the relevant assessment.

No.
The EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence (AML) is issued in Portugal by ANAC – Autoridade Nacional da Aviação Civil, following an application by the candidate.
Applicants must provide the required supporting documentation, including:
-
The applicable Basic Training Certificate of Recognition;
-
Evidence of the required practical maintenance experience, in accordance with the requirements applicable to the licence category or subcategory concerned.
-
-
Complete Basic Training Course: requires a shorter period of practical maintenance experience, generally between 1 and 2 years depending on the applicable category/subcategory;
-
Basic Examinations for independent candidates, with or without preparation training: require a longer period of practical maintenance experience, generally between 3 and 5 years depending on the applicable category/subcategory.
-
Practical training forms part of an approved Basic Training Course or, where applicable, the practical element of Aircraft Type Training and is conducted within the relevant Part-147 training framework.
On-the-Job Training (OJT) is carried out in an actual aircraft maintenance environment under the applicable regulatory requirements. It is associated with the first aircraft type rating within a given Part-66 licence category/subcategory, where required, and is separate from the practical training component of the course.
No.
The practical component of an approved Complete Basic Training Course does not itself count as the practical maintenance experience required for licence issuance. However, successful completion of an approved Basic Training Course reduces the amount of subsequent practical experience required, depending on the relevant category/subcategory.
This is why candidates who have completed approved Basic Training generally require less practical maintenance experience than candidates following the independent examination route.
No.
Training associated with the independent examination route, even where it includes theoretical and practical elements, is not recognised as an approved Part-147 Basic Training Course.
It therefore does not provide the reduction in practical maintenance experience associated with successful completion of approved Part-147 Basic Training. Candidates must meet the full experience requirements applicable to their chosen examination route.
Yes.
Regardless of the chosen route, applicants must provide evidence of relevant practical aircraft maintenance experience in order to obtain an EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence.
Any examination credits or recognition of qualifications are determined by the competent authority of each country.
In Portugal, there are currently no automatic direct equivalences between a university degree and the training requirements associated with an EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence.
