(b) The content of the refresher training should:
(1) consist of elements from the initial UPRT instructor training course as per point
FCL.915(e)(1)(ii); and

individual instructor and taking into account the following factors:

(ii) the amount of time elapsed since the instructor provided instruction on a
training course as per point FCL.745.A for the last time; and
