7.5 Conduct of Unit Endorsement Examinations
Units that have an approved Level 2 UTP may be authorised by the CAA to conduct unit endorsement examination boards in the absence of an Inspector of ATS. Where this is the case, the CAA will specifically authorise particular unit ATC examiners to be responsible for the conduct of the examination board.
To be authorised to be responsible for the conduct of a unit endorsement examination board, an ATC examiner must provide evidence that he has undertaken two supernumerary duties being responsible for the conduct of an examination board to the satisfaction of the CAA. One of these examination boards must be in the presence of an Inspector of ATS.
On transferring to another unit, a unit ATC examiner will retain his examiner’s licence endorsement but his approval to conduct unit endorsement examination boards will be cancelled. To be responsible for the conduct of unit endorsement examination boards at his new unit he must:
a) meet the experience requirements for being a unit examiner at his new unit; and
b) be nominated to the CAA by the provider of air traffic services at that unit.
7.6 Roles and Responsibilities
7.6.1 Unit ATC Examiner Authorised to Conduct Examination Boards
A unit ATC examiner who is responsible for the conduct of an examination board for
a unit endorsement examination must ensure:
a) that the candidate is fully briefed on:
i) the schedule for the examination board and its constituent parts;
ii) the persons involved and their roles in the examination;
iii) the right to appeal under Regulation 6 of the CAA Regulations in respect of the
conduct of the examination. b) that the candidate and those involved in the examination are appropriately licensed; c) that the unit ATC examiners meet all the licensing requirements to act as a member of the board; d) that a controller who is appropriately licensed supervises the candidate during the practical element of the examination;
NOTE: This may be one of the members of the examination board provided he is an OJTI
and holds a valid rating appropriate to the air traffic service to be provided.
e) that during the oral element of the examination the questions asked conform to
the guidance in paragraph 9.6.2 of this part of this document; f) that the candidate is fully debriefed following the examination with, if appropriate,
the reasons for failure;

The CAA will issue a letter of authorisation to confirm that a controller is authorised
to act as the ATC Examiner responsible for the conduct of unit endorsement examinations.
7.6.2 Providers of Air Traffic Services
Providers of air traffic services at units where they are responsible for the provision of air traffic control services must have processes, procedures and competent personnel to ensure that:

b) the unit ATC examiner responsible for the conduct of the examination board has been approved by the CAA to conduct unit endorsement examination boards;
c) the other unit examiners involved in the unit endorsement examination are appropriately licensed;
d) the CAA is advised of the result of the examination.
7.7 Holding of a Unit Endorsement at More than One Unit
7.7.1 Where it is intended that a controller holds a unit endorsement concurrently at more than one unit, the Air Traffic Service Provider, or Providers, concerned are to inform the ATSD Regional Manager or Head of En-Route and College Regulation, as appropriate.
7.8 Temporary Unit Endorsement Examinations
