Get it in writing
Get it in writing, Get it in writing, Get it in writing,
telephone conversations are all well and good esp if it means less exams, but always get it in writing.For yourself and for everyone that will (justifiably) pull out a lasors and point.
Had the same problem years ago with a FAA Heli PPL which everyone tried to tell me meant I could not fly G reg in UK. ( I could but the onus was on me to educate, so I did, as you will, as its in your best interest)
meantime congratulations looks like you have less exams to sit
