Hello..

Just a little question maybe stupid but I didnt catch...
When does the "18 months" period?
the day of your inscription or after the 1st sitting for the exams?

the second one (1s sitting) is more logic but I ask...with all tis rules...

Thank you

It start on your first sitting of your first exam. Also resits are 4 for each subject and 6 sittings in total for all.

The exact rules concerning the exams are in Lasors.

Also if we're going to be exact, the 18 months starts from the date of your first PASS in any subject.

Not true FW

It is from the date of first sitting
i.e. the first exam you take whether you pass or fail

TK,

Should have followed my own advice!!!
I stand corrected.
In my defence it is a long time since I sat them

To be REALLY picky, the timing actually starts at the end of the calander month of first sitting (pass or fail). JAR FCL 1.490 (b)
