These PART 66 modules are presented in detail with examples of implementation.

To adapt to all profiles, NOVAE offers 3 types of training:

• ERE option: Personal e-learning preparation, targeted refresher course, then examinations with tailored support from qualified personnel throughout your learning;
  

  For greater flexibility, the ERE option is available in 2 versions: 

  • Condensed (by default): the instruction period is around 8 weeks, modules are taught as close together as possible. The examination is taken at the end of teaching to maintain the benefit from the support.
  • Expanded (on request, according to profile): the duration can be increased to up to 6 months. That allows employees to combine training with time in the company.
• ETOS option: E-learning preparation, then examinations (you decide when you are ready);
  A switch to face-to-face teaching is possible: if you are not comfortable once your training has started, you can switch over to the ERE option and receive the support of qualified instructors.
  
  
• Full: full course / practice / examinations

What is the advantage of NOVAE training? Flexible, autonomous training that adapts to your needs (examination credits possible according to certificates acquired in accordance with OSAC regulations).
