EASA Notice of Proposed Amendment affecting Part-66 and Part-147
EASA published a notice of proposed amendment (NPA) on 9th September 2014 for a three months open consultation period to receive comments from those interested in reviewing these proposed changes. The period is open to comments up until 9 December 2014 and you can comment on this NPA through EASA's comments response tool (CRT) which is on the link below.
The proposed changes will affect Part-66 and Part-147 regulations.

NPA 2014-22: New Training Methods and New Teaching Technologies
I would urge any maintenance engineers who has a personal interest in seeing maintenance engineering training and teaching improved to have a look at the NPA and comment on any part which you think is OK or not OK for you.
I know from the LAME engineering training survey in which 120 very kind PPRune users took part earlier this year that there is definitely a feeling amongst a number of seasoned engineers that some of the training standards have suffered in the past few years.
Perhaps this could be a chance and opportunity to have your views heard with regards to the proposed changes and to hopefully create a push towards improving matters.

The biggest problem is that the Part 145 Maintenance companies/providers are not willing to have "their" workers away from the workface on long training courses anymore.
Gone are the days when a Full type course could last 10 weeks depending on the number of engine types, and also go into great detail regarding systems/components to the benefit of the engineers.
The authorities have "allowed" the big companies and their bean counters to browbeat them into accepting shorter courses and less training hours per day on those courses.
Look forward to other views on this important matter.

Thanks Esscee
Hi Esscee. Thanks for your input. This is exactly why if any maintenance engineers has the time and ability to comment on this ANP, it would help. I am pretty newish in this industry and therefore I have not much of the past to compare the present with.
However, I have been made to understand, like yourself, that in the past type courses could indeed take up to 10 weeks. I am told now that they can be as little as three weeks. Is that so? If any one has recent experiences, that would help.
I am in the process of commenting on this NPA in as finite details as possible within the scope of my knowledge. There are probably many of you out there who could comment within a much greater scope of knowledge.
