It doesn't appear that anybody in that particular country had received formal TP training - they can't afford the western variety and under it's previous Eastern management TP training didn't really exist. They have a local authority (and by the standard of smaller country Airworthiness Authorities quite a good one) but the training and experience of authority staff was inevitably similar to that of the company staff.
I did point these chaps at standard UK and US textbooks and offered some teaching material from my own archives but, more's the pity, I don't think that they could afford the excellent NTPS or any equivalent product.
