That's up to the guy that does the 170A if such a thing even exists any more under EASA.
Before the 170A examiner had to be a CRE MEP as well to be able to do it, a lot were such a beast but not all are.
Some people will say its completely illegal to do such a thing and others will say but I did it.
There were a whole heap of things that were going on at the start of JAR that over the years progressively got stopped. I and all the people who trained in that same period got to log all the hours in the aircraft as time towards the course. The CAA stopped that a few years ago and said only the time under the screens could be counted. But at 10mins plus per flight for taxi you quite quickly need another hour under the screens compared to those days.
The mixing and matching of tests and training details was always a bit dodgy. Great if you did it, but best not talked about.
