Thanks, Pilot DAR
Competence Based, it's an EASA course that provides a theoretically more streamlined route to obtaining the full IR, with a bit less of the traditional (in Europe) nauseating exam loading. To be fair, it's a term that most people in Europe will be familiar with, but I can see why it's alien to people outside Europe.
In essence it reduces the exam / theory load from about seven times what's required for the FAA IR, to about four times.
