Hi there
when I did mine, I was told by the examiner , that holds had to be TAUGHT in the syllabus, and an entry made to that effect in your logbook.
If that was done, you did NOT need to be tested on holds, but if no evidence was in your logbook that you had done some , then you WOULD be tested on them....
Needless to say I made sure I was taught them <g>
