Sofema Online meets the challenge of the changing EASA & UK CAA regulatory landscape.

The Problem-Since the UK’s departure from EASA, certification standards have drifted apart. Mutual recognition is limited. If you are a Third Country Maintenance Organization holding dual approvals, you are now answerable to EASA & UK CAA, requiring separate certificates and distinct evidence of compliance.

The Solution: The Sofema Online Corporate Freedom Pass (CFP) allows your team to maintain dual compliance without doubling your training budget and operational downtime?

The Sofema Strategy: “Baseline + Difference”

We do not believe in training the same topic twice.

Sofema Online (SOL) has developed a unique, efficient pathway:

  • We Baseline EASA: Using the robust EASA standard as the core foundation.

  • We Add UK CAA Differences: Specialized “Bridge Courses” cover only the specific UK regulatory deltas.

Result: Your team remains 100% Compliant with both authorities regulatory requirements, you minimize study time by avoiding unnecessary duplication.

Initial and Recurrent HF/SMS-EWIS & FTS Delivery

  • Available for all-Conveniently Online-Separate Certification for both EASA and UK CAA Courses

The “Hidden” Cost: Module 9 & Module 10

For companies operating outside the UK and Europe, the burden on Certifying Staff is immense. Both EASA and UKCAA require Part 66 Module 9 (Human Factors) and Module 10 (Legislation).

The Old Way: Sending staff to ~8 days of classroom training.
The Sofema Online CFP Way: Full online access to Mod 9 & 10, including the “UK CAA Difference” modules. Zero travel costs. Zero roster disruption-Short Bridging Courses to cover all the differences.
