In response to you all. I took a two week course to prepare for the CAA A&C licence. I got full exemptions with my A&P. It was a piece of **** . I thought it was too easy. Not even a practical test.
It is unfortunate for you europeans that the FAA don't give out exemptions AND do not reconize the JAA licenses.
Maybe it is just "protectionism" from both sides of the atlantic ocean.
