1.Audits should be conducted to ensure the continuity of the approval; it is not necessary to sample all basic and type training courses, but the competent authority should sample, as appropriate, one basic and one type training course to establish that training is conducted in an appropriate manner. Nevertheless, the duration of the sampling for each course should not be less than 3 hours. Where no training course is being conducted during the audit, arrangements should be made to return at a later date to sample the conduct of a training course.

2.It is not necessary to sample all examinations associated with a training course but the competent authority should sample, as appropriate, one basic and one type training course examination.
