                                              operator to provide cabin crew training, the CAA shall verify that:
                                              (1) the conduct, the syllabi and associated programmes of the training courses
                                                  provided by the organisation comply with the relevant requirements of Part-CC;

                                              (3) the trainers and instructors conducting the training sessions are suitably
                                                  experienced and qualified in the training subject covered.
                                          (b)  The CAA shall only grant such approvals to organisations complying with the
                                              requirements in (a). Before granting such an approval, the CAA shall:
                                              (1) assess the capability and accountability of the organisation to perform the related

                                                  personnel who are qualified for this purpose and free from conflict of interest, and
                                                  for the issue of cabin crew attestations in accordance with ARA.GEN.315 and
                                                  ARA.CC.100(b); and
                                              (3) require the organisation to provide information and documentation related to the
                                                  cabin crew attestations it issues and their holders, as relevant for the CAA to
                                                  conduct its recordkeeping, oversight and enforcement tasks.

                                      For any element being examined for the issue of a cabin crew attestation as required in Part-CC, the
                                      person who delivered the associated training or instruction should not also conduct the examination.
                                      However, if the organisation has appropriate procedures in place to avoid conflict of interest regarding
                                      the conduct of the examination and/or the results, this restriction need not apply.
