This credit can manifest as a reduction in course duration, the number of lessons, or specific training hours, provided the CAA obtains and assesses a comprehensive credit report from a training organisation confirming the equivalence of the prior training to the UK ATCO training requirements, excluding cases covered by existing international agreements.
