There is no IP. The Syllabus is freely available from Boeing and CASA would insist that be adhered to. The Standards are in the MOS and there is a CASA provided template to do the 142 approval. Put them all together and away you go. The Instructor and Examiner approvals are the individuals qualifications and they can do and work for who they choose.
