EXAMINATIONS

We support and organise exams for all levels of certification in Europe: CTA, CTA Trainer and TSTA. 

Professionally and ethically the challenge is to organise exams that let the candidates grow and have an as objective as possible process. Sometimes that leads to appeals by the candidate, which we need to deal with thoroughly and carefully.

EATA TRAINING AND EXAMINATION HANDBOOK

This manual contains all the information regarding the requirements / rules / forms and guidelines related to TA training and TA examinations in all the four fields.

The official language of EATA is English it is the English handbook which contains the “official” version of the handbook.

The English Handbook and supplements: From time to time PTSC updates the handbook… These changes are published in the PTSC telegram.

  • The President/Chair of the National Organisation (or the delegate officer) applies in writing to the Chair of CoC requesting to hold examinations and giving the date and place that has been chosen. He/she also specifies whether it is intended to hold both CTA and TSTA exams or just CTA.
  • The President/Chair of the N.O., (or the delegate officer) in consultation with relevant people within his/her organisation, may also suggest an exam supervisor or supervisors at least nine months before the exam.
  • CoC will receive the request and confirm it at the next meeting including approving the exam supervisor. If preferred, CoC and the Supervising Examiner will provide names of exam supervisors.
  • Contact CoC Chair for application and contract for organising EATA exams Christoph Seidenfus
