7 Competency progress recorded in achievement records
7.1 A training organisation must assess whether a student has achieved competency in each element of each unit of each stage of the training course.
7.2 Each element of each unit of each stage of the training course is shown in the achievement records set out in Appendix 7.
7.3 For subclause 7.1, the training organisation must use achievement records identical to those in Appendix 7.
7.4 For each element of each unit of each stage of the training course, a student’s achievement records must show the following:
(a) an instructor’s certification that the student has achieved at least the standard of competency for the element;
(b) if subclause 7.9 applies — the standard of each higher stage that was achieved;
(c) the student’s certification of completion of the relevant training for the element.
7.5 The standard of competency a student must achieve for an element of a unit of a stage is the standard specified in Appendix 6 for the element.
7.6 A student may not progress to a new stage of training from a preceding stage until subclause 7.4 has been complied with in respect of the preceding stage.
7.7 A student may not be recommended for a flight assessment until subclause 7.4 has been complied with in respect of the stage at the end of which the flight assessment occurs.
7.8 A student may not be recommended for a flight test until subclause 7.4 has been complied with in respect of the advanced stage.
7.9 If, for an element of a stage, a student achieves a standard of competency at least equivalent to the standard for that element at a subsequent stage, the element may also be certified in the achievement records of the element for the subsequent stage.
7.10 For subclause 7.9, formal certification of an element at a subsequent stage may not be made until each element of the current stage has been assessed and competency certified.
