CPL exam validity

[Edward Terry]

Hi all,

I'm wondering how long a pass in a CPL subject is valid for. Can I accrue subjects over a number of years in anticipation of doing the flying in a few years' time?

Thanks

3 years.

From http://www.casa.gov.au/fcl/exams/cyber/cplexam.htm

Requirement for a full CPL pass credit
To be awarded a full CPL exam credit, the candidate shall pass the 7 subject-parts of the CPL examination within a three-year period, beginning from the first attempt, successful or otherwise. The candidate is advised to only attempt a CPL subject exam when he/she is fully prepared, as the time for this three year-period will be counted from the first attempt. If a candidate does not pass all seven subject-parts within the permitted time, he/she will be required to start anew again.

Thanks, Adam. Once you have passed all the exams, is there another clock ticking to sit the flight test?
