Training (including examinations and assessments) delivered after the transition period should be delivered in accordance with the syllabus applicable after the applicability date and issued with the corresponding certificate of recognition (CofR). In order to facilitate the transition from the subject modules applicable before the applicability date to the subject modules applicable as of the applicability date, and to enable the acceptance of basic training courses that commenced before the applicability date, the following situations are identified and described: (a) Organisations delivering basic training courses that commenced before the applicability date and that are foreseen to be completed (including the corresponding successful examinations and assessments) before the end of the transition period, have two options: Option 1 Basic training is delivered based on the syllabus applicable before the applicability date and is finalised before the end of the transition period. In such a case a certificate of recognition (CofR) is issued in accordance with the provisions applicable before the applicability date. Option 2 Basic training is delivered in two parts: Part 1 for the modules that started before the applicability date, based on the syllabus applicable before the applicability date; and Part 2 for the modules that started after the applicability date based on the syllabus applicable after the applicability date. Note: All relevant modules are to be covered by Parts 1 and 2 within the same organisation. Under Option 2 a CofR is issued in accordance with the provisions applicable before the applicability date for those modules that started before the applicability date (Part 1) and a CofR is issued in accordance with the provisions applicable as of the applicability date for those modules that started after the applicability date (Part 2). The two certificates jointly provide the holder with the same attestation and reduction of experience (66.B.30(a)) as a CofR for a basic training course that is undertaken under normal conditions. These certificates contain a note and a list of the modules describing the special nature of the certificates as they relate to the transition provisions: ‘This certificate is issued for Part 1 of the basic training course which started before the applicability date of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/989, covering the modules listed below:’ for those modules started before the applicability date; ‘This certificate is issued for Part 2 of the basic training course which started after the applicability date of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/989, covering the modules listed below:’ for those modules started after the applicability date. (b) Organisations providing basic training courses that commenced before the applicability date and that are foreseen to be completed (including the corresponding successful examinations and assessments) after the end of the transition period, can only apply Option 2 of point (a) of this GM.
