i) holds a current student or air traffic controller licence;
ii) has successfully completed an approved course of initial training in the rating and rating endorsement (if any) in which he is to be examined;

e) the CAA is advised of the requirement for a rating or unit endorsement examination, giving a minimum of 30 days notice and stating the planned number of hours for the candidate to complete the UTP.
NOTE: With reference to e) above, units should contact their ATSD Regional Manager if they are unable to give the required 30 days’ notice.
6.3 Failing a Rating Examination
A candidate failing a rating examination shall not be permitted to retake the examination until a period of at least 30 days has elapsed and will be required to undertake both the practical and the oral examination at further attempts.
The appropriate ATSD Regional Manager shall agree the minimum additional training required in consultation with the ATS Provider.
7 Unit Endorsement Examinations
7.1 A unit endorsement examination is an examination for the issue of:
a) additional unit endorsement(s) on operational position(s) or sector(s) at the same unit at which controllers already hold valid ratings in the rating and rating endorsement (if any) appropriate to the air traffic control service to be provided (extension validation);
b) unit endorsement(s) at a unit where the controller does not yet hold a valid rating in the rating and rating endorsement (if any) appropriate to the air traffic control service to be provided but in which he holds, or has held within the previous four years, a valid rating at another unit.
7.2 The board for a unit endorsement examination will comprise:
a) an Inspector of ATS and a unit ATC examiner, or
b) a unit ATC examiner authorised to be responsible for the conduct of examination boards and a unit ATC examiner.
Where civilian air traffic controllers provide air traffic services at a military airfield, an ATCEB examiner may be present.
When applying for unit endorsement examinations, units shall give their ATSD Regional Manager thirty days notice prior to the proposed examination date and to inform him of the planned number of hours for the candidate to complete the UTP.
