As long as you have sat and passed one LAME exam,when the changes come you can still carry on thru the current system.
Havic,all engineering exams except Weight and Balance exams are multipul choice.Not written!
Personaly I did some subjects self study and the rest i payed my own way thru Parafield TAFE.
Some companys actualy require that you have Trade Papers to go with your LAME Licence.
I also hold a CPL and must admit Ive got the best of both worlds,during summer,I ground my self and stay in the hangar,No Bumps!!
Im always looking for keen helpers.Heaps of C210s to play with
PM me if intrested
