Don't confuse a type course with a conversion to the full B1. Either for a mechanical guy or a B2 (avionics) guy. Many of these courses are for those that have gone of and done their electrical basics, (say for a mechanical LAME), and then gone back to pick up the differences for electrical on a type already held under the old CASA licensing system. That is full B1 without restriction on type.

It will be a bit like what is unfolding with the part 61 debacle for flight crew licensing. The more CASA try to align with EASA or JAR OPS, the further away we get from being anything near the same..... Or even achieving some form of commonality or synergy.
