Has anyone done this or can anyone help with the requirements please

Going by your reply , not hard to guess where you are based.

I have both the B767 and B757 ratings on my CASA B1.1 licence.
My ratings are full B1 type courses from overseas, I transferred them under the CAR31 system before Part 66 was introduced.
So when the switch from CAR31 to CASR66 occured, CASA applied the Australian limitations to my ratings.
So for me to restore my original full B1 ratings under the CASA system I need to do restriction removal courses (theory and practical).$4000 EACH.
The only CASA "approved" training provider for B757 is SRT in Zurich.
SRT has a training agreement with VA, but I do not think VA can provide the B757 training, you will have to go to Zurich to complete training.
I'm not sure they are approved for the PW2000 on the B757. I know they can do the RB211-535 for CASA approval.

So the answer to your question is SRT in Zurich.
Go to their website and send them an email.

CASA will only accept CASA approved training, so go look up AC 147-2v5.1 on the CASA website. There is a list of approved training providers there.

CASA is the only NAA that does NOT accept manufactures training. So if you went to Boeing and did an B757 ATA 104 Level III course, CASA will not accept it.

Good luck with your training quest, it WILL be very expensive.

Aintsaying,
Thanks you for your intelligent and informative response.
Sounds like it may go into the "too hard" basket.

Cheers

Well its not hard, its just expensive.
You just need to get on an course with SRT, pay the money and attend and pass the training.
Then SRT will issue some form465's and CASA will issue the B757 for you(RB211 only).
Its just super expensive and CASA has no idea what it has done.

Thanks for the wishes. It is not that important at present, but now I know a direction to head.
Cheers

for info CASA isnt the only country that wont accept manufacturer training, UK CAA doesnt if it isnt JAR147 approved, lots of mates did 777 at Boeing before 147 for foreign operators and couldnt get the rating , even though UK operators staff on same courses did.........
