B. Basic knowledge modules or partial modules required

The purpose of this table is to outline the examinations required to add a new basic category/subcategory to an AML granted in accordance with this Annex.

The syllabi prepared in accordance with Appendix I and Appendix VII require different levels of knowledge for different licence categories within a module; therefore, there are additional examinations applicable to certain modules for licence holders wishing to extend an AML granted in accordance with this Annex to include another category/subcategory and an analysis of the module shall be conducted to determine the subjects missing or passed at a lower level.
