Which path to follow ? EASA or CASA

Hi guys

I am an Australian 2nd year apprentice AME working at a GA organisation. Currently I attend a TAFE on block release to complete a Cert IV Aero skills course.

Recently I started taking CASA exams (QA, BA, FA, GG, etc). But we have just been told by TAFE that we are going to be trained under the new EASA 66 system. We where to be trained under the B3 license which seems targeted to the specific Australian GA industry but since this syllabus isn’t complete we will be doing the B1 theory.

My question is should I continue the CASA exams or just stick with this new EASA system? What would be my benefits either way? Should I just try for a license under the old CASA system and update it on the grandfather rule?

There’s a great deal of frustration being felt at my level with no reliable sources of information. Information is slowly trickling out on the CASA website.

Thanks
