All the Authorities were given ECB03 in November with 9 months to implement it. The requirement is for them to examine with questions drawn from the ECB. They don't have to use them all although most do because they don't have either the resources or the will to filter through them. Paradoxically the UK CAA are among the best of the 'Competent Authorities' generally with a proactive approach to improving the European Question Bank. In this case, though, I'm afraid they could have done better. In particular, to justify the exams by saying 'the questions are covered by the learning objectives' despite being told repeatedly (and very forcefully) that (1) the objectives themselves are flawed and (2) that the questions being generated are often poor, and secondly to take no action to set up adequate quality controls is an abrogation of the responsibility that they have as a public body examining a professional qualification. In addition, to justify the inclusion of questions as 'covered by the learning objectives' whilst simultaneously refusing to publish those very learning objectives is bizarre, and they should correct it immediately. How on earth are students meant to follow their instruction to 'study the learning objectives and not rely on question banks'? It beggars belief.
