Any certificate authority can require a higher standard, and as we are hearing in regards to MAX training, some likely will. Other agencies are more than willing to use the FAA or EASA as a de facto approval authority since they lack the resources to conduct their own approval process. And then you have groups like the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority (ECAA) who will gladly support even lower standards if it fits the business model of their national airline.
