Become an examiner

Qualified to let students take skill- and prof checks

FE(H)

The examiner training course trains you to the level at which you are qualified to evaluate students, and see whether they meet the quality requirements necessary to get their license. The HeliCentre module for this examiner course is a joint initiative with the Civil Aviation Authority (IL&T). This means you will need to register with IL&T prior to commencing this course.

To become an examiner, you are not allowed to have had your license(s) withdrawn or suspended as a result of violating an EASA regulation in the past three years. Depending on the exam level you wish to take (LAPL, PPL or CPL), you need to have sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
