No. It is an independent study resource produced by a third party. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by ANAC. Use it for practice and revision only, and treat the official ANAC publications and your approved training organisation as the authoritative sources for regulatory content and administrative procedure.

The assessment uses multiple-choice questions. The official body publishes the current number of items, time allowed, and scoring rules, so check the ANAC website or your training provider for the figure that applies to your sitting. Do not rely on numbers quoted in forums, which are frequently out of date.

Most candidates find the technical domains manageable and the regulatory and documentation domains harder, because they reward precise recall of requirements and correct completion of records rather than general aircraft knowledge. Expect scenario-style items that ask what action or entry is correct, not simply definitions. Solid familiarity with real maintenance paperwork reduces the difficulty considerably.

There is no official preparation time. A practical approach is several weeks of steady study, weighted toward the larger domains, with the final week spent on practice questions and reviewing errors. Candidates already working in a maintenance organisation often need less time on systems and more on regulatory detail and human factors.

Start with the regulatory framework, since later domains assume it. Then cover organisation and responsibilities, planning and scheduling, and records, which reinforce each other. Move to systems and structures, then inspection and troubleshooting, and finish with repair, alteration and return to service plus safety management and human factors. Revisit weak areas in the last week.

Retake rules, waiting periods, and any fees are set by the official body and can change. Confirm the current policy directly with ANAC or your approved training organisation before scheduling. If a retake is permitted, review which domains cost you the most marks and rebuild those first rather than repeating the same overall revision.

Common failure modes include confusing which document authorises a task, misreading airworthiness directive and service bulletin applicability, incomplete or unsigned maintenance record entries, and overlooking human-factors contributors such as fatigue, pressure, and unclear shift handover. Another frequent error is answering from habit rather than reading the full scenario in the question.

Answer without notes first, then read the explanation for every item, including ones you got right. Record the reason each wrong answer tempted you. Group your errors by domain so revision targets the actual gap. Aim to explain why the other options are wrong, which is what the real assessment rewards.
