       An application for an approval or for the amendment of an existing approval must be made in a form approved by CASA.

      Subpart B Organisational requirements

        147.A.100 Facility requirements
      (a) An MTO must provide maintenance training and assessment in facilities with weather protection that is adequate for the proper provision of maintenance training and assessment.
      (b) In addition, the facilities that the MTO uses for the provision of theory training and theory assessment must be:
1. fully enclosed; and
2. separate from facilities used by the MTO to provide practical training and practical testing; and
3. designed so that for assessments no student can read the paperwork or computer screen of any other student from his or her position during an assessment.
      (ba) The maximum number of students undergoing knowledge training during any training course must not exceed 28.
      (c) An MTO must ensure the environment described in paragraph 147.A.100 (b) is maintained in a way that ensures students can concentrate during training or examinations without undue distraction or discomfort (including adequate heating and cooling and protection from loud noise).
      (d) If an MTO provides a category training course or category training workshops, maintenance facilities separate from training classrooms must be provided for practical instruction appropriate to the training course. If, however, the MTO is unable to provide such facilities, arrangements may be made with another organisation to provide such workshops or maintenance facilities, in which case a written agreement must be made with the organisation specifying the conditions of access. The agreement must include a requirement that the contracted organisation must give CASA access to its facilities.
      (e) If an MTO provides an aircraft type training course, it must give students access to appropriate facilities containing examples of the aircraft type for the required practical instruction. If the MTO does not have the appropriate facilities or aircraft, arrangements may be made with another organisation (the contracted organisation) to provide the appropriate facilities and examples of the aircraft type. The arrangements must be set out in  a written agreement stating the conditions of access to the facilities and aircraft. The agreement must specify that the contracted organisation must give CASA access to its facilities.
      (f) An MTO must ensure the maximum number of students undergoing practical training during any training course does not exceed the ratio of students to each member of teaching staff, as set out in the MTO's exposition. The ratio of students to members of teaching staff is determined by the nature
