I am trying to find out from everyone around the world, whether you CAA issued you with a Final reults certificate once you had finished writing all the C/ATPL exams fixed/rotor wing...?

The South African CAA issued me one when I competed the CPL exams.
The UK CAA do not issue anything besides results after each sitting.

If you have, or have not received a results certificate once completed please either post here or PM me...

:8

What is the general consensus?
Do you want one for your file/CV, like when you completed you schooling or university studies, or any other kind of education for that matter?

Appreciate any feed back...... :ok:

I needed one a couple of years ago for a non JAA validation and as my JAA 'state of issue' had lost the copy on which my licence was issued. (I'm not joking!) I had to contact the CAA and for a fee (don't remember how much) they issued photocopies of the original result advice posted to you after the exams. In my case with the 'previous fails' clearly marked and the pitiful pass marks emboldened. needless to say they're not hanging on the wall :O

They don't have any kind of 'General certificate of pass'

The CAA where I took the exams was the UK.

I requested one from the NAA issuing my License after I transferred State, it worked as a formal proof that I had sat the Airline theory, which proved to be valuable on two different occasions: when I requested credit for an IR conversion and for converting to another ICAO country. Most of the World worships stamps and indulges in bureaucracy, the more paperwork you keep the safer you are.

Good plan, that should be worth at least another £100 in fees to the CAA.

(They don't - just the final exam results sheet will suffice for most)

I've used the final results sheet from the CAA when I've needed to prove ATPL theory credit; haven't run into any who wouldn't accept that yet, but you might find it's not 'official' looking enough for some of the third-world paper-pushers. A cover letter from the CAA would probably sort that (although good luck getting them to do one for you).

That's the problem... Who would have thought that the United Kingdom CAA (supposedly one of the leaders in aviation related matters) would be so BACKWARD...
I have been fighting for a simple letter with all my results on one page, but apparently that CANNOT be done. I have been nice up to this point, but now I am just going to become an ass about it until I get it. After spending close on a thousand pounds for the exams, I the Client, would like to have been helped a little bit better. :ugh::ugh::ugh:
No wander the UK CAA has the reputation it has!!! The people that work there seem to be the problem.
Pull Your Fingers Out People.... It's not that much of a difficult request!!! Remember, you're supposed to be a SERVICE orientated operation, who should try and make the CUSTOMER happy :*:*:*

I personally don't see much difference between first and third World "paper-pushers", same Stamp Cult and by the way what Pandalet designates as third world are typically former european colonies that inherited the worst of the so called first World.
