How Do You Become a TRI
 

I have loads of time, type ratings, and qualifications. I have been looking a positions in India. Many of the advertisements pay more for a TRI/TRE.

If I were interested in such a designation, how would I go about getting one? I have an ATPL.

Anyone care to share their thoughts?

JAR OPS 1.365 has the answers - a bit too long to post but here's some of it:

JAR–FCL 1.365 TRI(MPA) – Requirements
